Vision based Qualitative Navigation for Mobile Robots
A Purposive Approach
- A purposeful robot executes specific tasks for a user. It uses internal representations and behaviours that are physically grounded and are tailored to the task.
- We use Purposive-Maps (PM) to represent and control the execution of robot
tasks.
- A PM is graph-like structure. The nodes represent landmarks
and the arcs represent robot behaviours.
Example of a Purposive Map
Task: Find the corner of the room,
pass through the second doorway
and then stop.
