Abstract

Navigating in realistic environments requires continuous observation of a robot’s surroundings, and creating internal representation of a perceived scene. This incorporates a sequence of cognitive processes, including attention focus, recognition of objects, and building internal scene representation. The paper describes selected elements of a cognitive system, which implement mechanisms of scene observation based on visual saccades, followed by creating the scene representation. Such internal representation is a foundation for scene comparison, based on a distance matrix. This, in turn, allows for recognizing known places, changes in the environment, or structure of complex objects.
