AASS Seminar - Semantic mapping for robots and by robots: the role of high-level information

The research centre AASS arranges a seminar with Todor Stoyanov, AASS, Örebro university.

Abstract

Semantic maps have the potential of serving as a bridge between classical high-level AI and low-level robot exploration and motion generation. Despite substantial research efforts however, the problem formalism with regards to semantic mapping is still largely disjoint: that is, AI and robotics researchers have very different notions with respect to semantic mapping. In this talk, I will attempt to offer a glimpse at the different notions of semantics with respect to robot maps and argue that top-down and bottom-up approaches to the problem are on the verge of finding common ground.
