Abstract

In order to be successful, guide robots in public space require socially-intelligent navigation behaviors. Evaluation of these behaviors can be done through lab studies, though these do not always capture the complexities of interactions in "the wild". In this extended abstract we present initial results of a field trial of a multi-year project in which we developed and deployed a robot which provided guiding services to real passengers at one of the top-20 busiest airports in the world. During this field trial 9 groups of passengers were guided by the robot. We will present initial results and implications for field studies.
