چکیده
representing the organizing committee of this conference, wrote to me, suggesting that I make a few remarks about Niels Vigand Pedersen. I had known Niels only since 1988 but we had became very good friends and had much to talk about, not only in mathematics but about many other things. Although there are many here who knew him longer and more deeply than I had ever known him, nevertheless our paths intersected suuciently often for me to gain a lasting impression of his personality. I wish to share some of these impressions with you. Let me begin with a few biographical details 2. Niels was born on March 12, 1949 and grew up in the village of Algestrup, not very far from Copenhagen. He started studying mathematics and physics at the University of Copenhagen when he was 19. His brilliance showed up almost at once and he obtained his master's degree in 1975, with a thesis written under the guidance of Esben Kehlet. He became interested in the theory of group representations and his lifelong fascination with the representation theory of nilpotent and solvable groups began at this time, when he came across the remarkable papers of Dixmier, Kirillov, Moore, Auslan-der, Kostant, and Pukanszky. Eventually he himself was to make many 1 Talk given in the conference on \Analysis on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces"

With the advent of inexpensive oo-the-shelf sonar ranging units sonar has become a common sensor on mobile robotic platforms. Many diierent algorithms have been proposed to obtain environmental layout and other structural information by integrating sonar measurements from multiple positions and/or sensors. Given perfect distance measurements and telemetry, this integration can be fairly simple....
