NaviSTAR models crowd navigation by representing nearby interactions and agents’ movement histories with spatial and temporal transformer blocks, fusing them with a cross-modal transformer, and learning rewards from human comparisons of trajectory segments. In simulation, its social score is 98.9 versus 95.7 for NaviSRNN in the 10-human setting, but not highest at FOV 360° and people do not react.
