The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Recipient design in human communication: simple heuristics or perspective taking? (2012, background): “Imagine a situation where Ann is in a shopping mall and is being approached by a robot who wishes to provide her with information about an attractive sale (Shiomi et al., 2007; Satake et al., 2009).”
Core Challenges of Social Robot Navigation: A Survey (2021, background): “(Satake et al. 2009; Satake et al. 2013) studied strategies for robots to successfully approach shoppers and ask them whether they need assistance.”
Social eye gaze in human-robot interaction (2017, background): “Tour guide robots might present a new technology to a user (Sidner, Kidd, Lee, & Lesh, 2004), provide route directions (Ono, Imai, & Ishiguro, 2001; Satake et al., 2010), or give location tours of indoor spaces (Knight & Simmons, 2013).”
From Proxemics Theory to Socially-Aware Navigation: A Survey (2014, background): “Social robots must know how to initiate an interaction with a human [82], for example by displaying availability [106] or friendly attitude [35].”
Toward seamless human-robot handovers (2013, background): “For instance, Satake et al. (2009) proposed a navigation model for how a robot should approach a human to make initiating an interaction easier.”
Human-aware robot navigation: A survey (2013, methodology): “Comfortable motion is currently mostly implemented as making the robot prefer additional distances on top of safety distances.”
