Title
Learning to automatically detect features for mobile robots using second-order Hidden Markov Models
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new method based on Hidden Markov Models to inter- pret temporal sequences of sensor data from mo- bile robots to automatically detect features. Hid- den Markov Models have been used for a long time in pattern recognition, especially in speech recognition. Their main advantages over other methods (such as neural networks) are their abil- ity to model noisy temporal signals of variable length. We show in this paper that this approach is well suited for interpretation of temporal se- quences of mobile-robot sensor data. We present two distinct experiments and results: the first one in an indoor environment where a mobile robot learns to detect features like open doors or T-intersections, the second one in an outdoor en- vironment where a different mobile robot has to identify situations like climbing a hill or crossing a rock.
