Abstract
The present approach relates to navigation (e.g., route planning and movement) of robots in an indoor environment shared with humans. The present approach includes detecting human activity over time, including but not limited to human motion; modeling human activities using the historical human activity, and using the modeled human activity to plan robotic motion or movement.
