  "summary": "Social navigation typically assumes a specified goal and focuses on reaching it while respecting social conventions, whereas robot group joining requires predicting where to join based on the group's real-time activity and formation. This is a highly semantic task, yet an important capability for applications such as robotic guide dogs and autonomous mobility scooters. We formulate…",
