Abstract
In this tutorial paper we will report on our experience in the use of geometric algebra (GA) in robot vision. The results could be reached in a long term research programme on modelling the perception-action cycle within geometric algebra. We will pick up three important applications from image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision. By presenting the problems and their solutions from an engineering point of view, the intention is to stimulate other applications of GA.
