Explorer
Objective
More and more robots find their way into environments where their primary
purpose is to interact with humans to help and solve a variety of
service-oriented tasks. Particularly if such a service robot is mobile, it
needs to have an understanding of the spatial and functional properties of the
environment in which it operates. The problem we address is how a robot can
acquire an understanding of the environment so that it can autonomously operate
in the environment, and talk about it with a human.
One key issue in the Explorer scenario is how to establish a correspondence
between how a human perceives spatial and functional aspects of an environment,
and what the robot autonomously learns as a map. Successful interaction between
human and robot relies on bridging the gap between the two representations.
