Abstract
Imagine designing an autonomous mobile robot to mingle with us in our environment. Although the robot, like us, could search a map to locate places and consult a global positioning system to find out where things are, it should also, like us, be able to compute, or update, its representation of its surroundings as observed through its sensors.
