A knowledge base for robots to model the real-world as a hypergraph

Robotic systems operating in the real world would benefit from a clear semantic model to understand the real world. Such semantics are typically captured in a knowledge structure. The speed at which robots need to update their real-world knowledge (because of new sensory observations) prevented the use of complex knowledge structures, due to...

On planning in a knowledge-hypergraph

Autonomous robots that operate in indoor, uncertain environments move around from one location to the next to fulfill a set of ordered task. To do so, they need a floor plan of the building to plan their route. In case the building is unfamiliar to a robot it can employ online mapping techniques, though these techniques are resource intensive...
