  abstract = {In this paper we propose a probabilistic model for Human-Robot Spatial
Interaction (HRSI) using a Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC).
In particular, we will build on previous work representing HRSI as
a Markov chain of QTC states and evolve this to an approach using
a Hidden Markov Model representation. Our model accounts for the
invalidity of certain transitions within the QTC to reduce the complexity
of the probabilistic model and to ensure state sequences in accordance
to this representational framework. We show the appropriateness of
our approach by using the probabilistic model to encode different
HRSI behaviours observed in a human-robot interaction study and show
how the models can be used to classify these behaviours reliably.}
