Abstract

This paper presents a bottom-up approach to building internal representation of an autonomous robot under a stand point that the robot create its state space for planning and generating actions only by itself. For this purpose, image-feature-based state space construction method is proposed using LLE (locally linear embedding). The visual feature is extracted from sample images by SIFT (scale invariant feature transform). SOM (Self Organizing Map) is introduced to find appropriate labels of image features throughout images with different configurations of robot. The vector of visual feature points mapped to low dimensional space express relation between the robot and its environment. The proposed method was evaluated by experiment with a humanoid robot collision classification.
