Robot Navigation with Schematic Maps

We outline an approach to high-level interaction with autonomous robots by means of schematic maps. Schematic maps are knowledge representation structures to encode qualitative spatial information about physical environments. We present a scenario in which robots rely on high-level knowledge from perception and instruction to perform navigation tasks in physical environments. We discuss the gen...

Visual Navigation with Schematic Maps

A prototypical example of the operational dimensions of visual information communication is the use of schematic maps for visual navigation. The implementation of maps on location-sensitive or handheld devices has changed the preliminaries of common mapping techniques. By an analysis of selected examples, both historic and current, we want to open up the space for innovative map design options....

Optimized energy calculation in lattice systems with long-range interactions

We discuss an efficient approach to the calculation of the internal energy in numerical simulations of spin systems with long-range interactions. Although, since the introduction of the Luijten-Blote algorithm, Monte Carlo simulations of these systems no longer pose a fundamental problem, the energy calculation is still an O(N2) problem for systems of size N. We show how this can be reduced to ...

Schematic Consequence

The aim of this note is rst to set up some general theory for discussing diierent aspects of the notion of a logic and then to draw attention to the schematic aspects of logic and suggest a way of capturing this aspect without making any commitment to the kind of syntax a logic should have.
