Integrating reification and ontologies for mobile autonomous robots
James P. Gunderson, L. F. Gunderson · 2008
A significant problem that has plagued autonomous mobile robots is the need to reason about a complex and dynamic world in a timely fashion. Huge strides have been made in artificial intelligence systems that deal with symbolic representations, and the hardware for robotics has seen significant growth. However, autonomous robots have not seen equivalent improvement. In this paper we examine a technique to couple deliberative reasoning systems with mobile robotic platforms to enable the robot to reason about the world.
