Qualitative Acceleration Model: Representation, Reasoning and Application

  • Conference paper
Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

On the way to autonomous service robots, spatial reasoning plays a main role since it properly deals with problems involving uncertainty. In particular, we are interested in knowing people’s pose to avoid collisions. With that aim, in this paper, we present a qualitative acceleration model for robotic applications including representation, reasoning and a practical application.
