Adaptive Companionship for Group-Following Robots: Handling Dynamically Changing Group Formations
A VLM-based perceptual module plus MPPI controller lets robots accompany dynamically changing human groups, yielding 15% higher success rate and 25% lower collisions than baselines in five scenarios plus positive user-study ratings for naturalness.
