Experiments in the integration of world knowledge with sensory information for mobile robots

Abstract

World representation is obviously a most important part of the sensory intelligence required by a mobile robot in order to operate autonomously in a complex environment. In this paper, we will propose a taxonomy of robot intelligence based on the methods used for world representation and for the integration of sensory information with the representations. These methods of representation and sensory integration are currently being programmed into PETER, a mobile robot, in our lab.
