Cognitive robotics: a new approach to simultaneous localisation and mapping, Trabalho apresentado em RECPAD 2010, In Proc. 16th Portuguese Conf. on Pattern Recogn. (RECPAD 2010), Vila Real, Portugal, 2010.AUT: JRO00913; DUB00865;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/885Most simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) solutions were developed for navigation of non-cognitive robots. By using a variety of sensors, the distances to walls and other objects are determined, which are then used to generate a map of the environment and to update the robot’s position. When developing a cognitive robot, such a solution is not appropriate since it requires accurate sensors and precise odometry, also lacking fundamental features of cognition such as time and memory. In this paper we present a SLAM solution in which such features are taken into account and integrated. Moreover, this method does not require precise odometry nor accurate ranging sensors.engVisão humanaconference object2011-12-05
