Yufei Zhu, Andrey Rudenko, Tomasz P. Kucner, Achim J. Lilienthal, Martin Magnusson
RAL 2025

An Map of Dynamics (MoD)-informed long-term human motion prediction framework (prediction horizon is 60 seconds) that incorporates a ranking method to output the most likely predicted trajectory, improving its practical utility for robotics applications. Evaluating on two real-world datasets showing that MoD-informed method outerperforms transformer-based and diffusion-based SOTA methods.
