Specialization of Perceptual Processes.
Abstract
In this report, I discuss the use of vision to support concrete, everyday activity. I will argue that a variety of interesting tasks can be solved using simple and inexpensive vision systems. I will provide a number of working examples in the form of a state-of-the-art mobile robot. Polly, which uses vision to give primitive tours of the behavioral repertorie and is both simple and inexpensive (the complete robot was built for less than $20,000 using commercial board-level components). The approach I will use will be to treat the structure of the agent's activity its task and environment--as positive resources for the vision system designer.
