This technology focuses on ensuring the harmonious integration of service robots, self-driving cars, and personal mobility devices with human movement in shared environments. By predicting human behavior based on visual attention, it aims to enhance safety and fluidity in areas where humans and automated vehicles coexist. Applications include enhancing the operational safety of service robots, designing better transportation environments, and improving interaction between self-driving vehicles and pedestrians. This innovation is particularly valuable in urban settings where the interaction between automated mobility solutions and pedestrians is frequent and complex.
