Anchoring Action Representation to Perception in a Mobile Robot

Antonio Chella, Marcello Frixione, Salvatore Gaglio

The framework proposed in (Chella et al. 1997,2000) for the representation of inner perceptual knowledge of a robot is generalized to include a representation of actions, in order that a mobile robot can exploit its inner perceptual representations to anchor its actions to perception. Such extension is aimed to allow the robot to simulate its own future actions, to anticipate their consequences and evaluate them in order to choose the most appropriate action to perform. The proposed framework is illustrated by describing its performances in a cat-mouse scenario.

Keywords: Robotics, Perception, Vision, Reasoning about Actions and Change
