A new approach to infuse spatial notions into robotics systems
by Ingrid Fadelli , Tech Xplore
Researchers at Sorbonne Universités and CNRS have recently investigated the prerequisites for the emergence of simplified spatial notions in robotic systems, based on on a robot's sensorimotor flow. Their study, pre-published on arXiv, is a part of a larger project, in which they explored how fundamental perceptual notions (e.g. body, space, object, color, etc.) could be instilled in biological or artificial systems.
So far, the designs of robotic systems have mainly reflected the way in which human beings perceive the world. Designing robots guided solely by human intuition, however, could limit their perceptions to those experienced by humans.
