Unitree G1 | Social Navigation with Dialogue – Approaching Human and Controlled Nav Stop (D–S3)

This experiment examines socially aware navigation when a person approaches the Unitree G1 during an active navigation task. Configuration D combines real-time social perception, navigation supervision, verbal explanations, and human–robot dialogue. The objective is to evaluate whether the robot can detect the approaching social conflict, interrupt its navigation, confirm a stable physical stop, and initiate an appropriate interaction with the person. The experiment also examines the coordination between social decisions, Nav2 cancellation, robot motion monitoring, and dialogue management.
