Spatial Representation and Reasoning for Robot Mapping: A Shape-Based Approach

This book demonstrates benefits of abstract and qualitative reasoning that have not received much attention in the context of autonomous robotics before. Bremen, Christian Freksa December 2007 Director of the SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition Preface This book addresses spatial representations and reasoning techniques for — bile robot mapping, providing an analysis of fundamental representations and processes involved. A spatial representation based on shape information is p— posed and shape analy...
