Purposeful perception by attention-steered robots.

摘要

This discussion paper highlights the design decisions of the UvA Rescue Team on the challenges imposed by the 2007 competition.Consistent with the approach of the previous year, the UvA Rescue Team research focus is dedicated to perceptional issues, to allow later extensions towards complex multi-agent exploration.The Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approach is extended with additional scan matching techniques.Victim detection is made possible with Histogram based Skin Detection.
