The solution to this "difficult" problem is obvious:

Too many drive teams seem to treat the robot as a mother duck and trail along behind it. Instead, think of it as a valuable artifact and give it an honor guard.
If there is a problem with people blindly stepping out into the path of a robot after the vanguard has passed, I offer a possible mitigation strategy. Have the vanguard carry a banner or a flag or other device, with brightly colored streamers trailing it and connected to the front corners of the cart. That will help keep the way clear and call people's attention to exactly the right place.
