This paper tackles the problem of finding a suitable qualitative representation for robots to reason about activity spaces where they carry out tasks interacting with a group of people. The Qualitative Spatial model for Group Robot Interaction (QS-GRI) defines Kendon-formations depending on: (i) the relative location of the robot with respect to other individuals involved in that interaction; (ii) the individuals' orientation; (iii) the shared peri-personal distance; and (iv) the role of the individuals (observer, main character or interactive). The evolution of Kendon-formations between is studied, that is, how one formation is transformed into another. These transformations can depend on the role that the robot have, and on the amount of people involved. ; Postprint (author's final draft)
