Overview
In this work, we present a deep learning approach for deciphering emotions from gaits. The extracted emotions along with psychology-driven proxemic constraints are used to navigate the robot in a socially aware manner. The results showcase a significant improvement in the accuracy of emotion prediction from gait sequences, which in turn improves the navigation scheme.
