Concepts for Anchoring in Robotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anchoring is the activity an agent does to classify the objects it perceives and to track them. With the increasing abilities of mobile robots, anchoring is becoming a major research issue to make robots perform their task in unstructured and partially unknown environments. We propose a model to represent knowledge in an agent, possibly participating to a multi–agent system, showing that the anchoring problem can be successfully faced by well known AI techniques. We discuss how this model can reliably support the instantiation of concepts by aggregating percepts affected by uncertainty, sensed by several sensors, and obtained from different agents.

Towards concept anchoring for cognitive robots
We present a model for anchoring categorical conceptual information which originates from physical perception and the web. The model is an extension of the anchoring framework which is used to create and maintain over time semantically grounded sensor information. Using the augmented anchoring framework that employs complex symbolic knowledge from a commonsense knowledge base, we attempt to gro...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation for Anchoring Symbolic Concepts to Perceptual Data
Perceptual anchoring is the process of creating and maintaining a connection between the sensor data corresponding to a physical object and its symbolic description. It is a subset of the general symbol grounding problem and has been investigated over the past years. In this chapter we present a method for grounding sensor data of physical objects to the corresponding semantic descriptions, in ...
متن کاملAn introduction to the anchoring problem
Anchoring is the problem of connecting, inside an artificial system, symbols and sensor data that refer to the same physical objects in the external world. This problem needs to be solved in any robotic system that incorporates a symbolic component. However, it is only recently that the anchoring problem has started to be addressed as a problem per se, and a few general solutions have begun to ...
متن کاملAn Interactivist Perspective of Autonomous Robotic Sign Users
In this paper we present an interactivist perspective on design principles for autonomous sign users such as autonomous robots. Past discussions have centered around symbol grounding or anchoring where concepts are considered prototypes in the perceptual space of a robot or animal. Here we advocate a more complex view starting from the purpose of using signs or pursuing sign acts. We argue that...
متن کاملAnchoring in a grounded layered architecture with integrated reasoning
The GLAIR grounded layered architecture with integrated reasoning for cognitive robots and intelligent autonomous agents has been used in a series of projects in which Cassie, the SNePS cognitive agent, has been incorporated into hardwareor software-simulated cognitive robots. In this paper, we present an informal, but coherent, overview of the GLAIR approach to anchoring the abstract symbolic ...
