Abstract

This work presents the Human Navigation Simulator (HuNavSim), a novel open-source tool for the simulation of different human-agent navigation behaviors in scenarios with mobile robots. The tool, the first programmed under the ROS 2 framework, can be used together with different well-known robotics simulators like Gazebo. The main goal is to facilitate the development and evaluation of human-aware robot navigation systems in simulation. In addition to a general human-navigation model, HuNavSim includes, as a novelty, a rich set of individual and varied human navigation behaviors and an comprehensive set of metrics for social navigation benchmarking.
