Intention Aware

Intention-aware systems aim to improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous agents by predicting and responding to the intentions of other agents in their environment, such as pedestrians or other robots. Current research focuses on developing models, often employing probabilistic graphical models, hybrid A* search algorithms, and recurrent graph neural networks with attention mechanisms, to predict intentions from observed behaviors and incorporate these predictions into decision-making processes. This research is significant for advancing the capabilities of autonomous systems in complex, dynamic environments, leading to safer and more natural interactions between humans and robots in applications like autonomous driving and crowd navigation.
