Title: QLTL: A qualitative approach to behavior specification

Acceptance of autonomous systems, e.g., robots in every day life, will largely depend on their awareness and ability of interaction. In the case of social interaction, patterns of socially acceptable behavior have been characterized in social science by means of abstract concepts of space and time. This makes integration with robot navigation a challenging problem. Moreover, an integration should allow the robot to build awareness of these patterns as in reality there will be misunderstandings a robot should be able to respond to.  In this talk I will present a representation of navigation patterns that is based on qualitative representations of space. The result is is a logic with clear semantics for specification of patterns which allows several conventions of social interactions to be represented. The approach is applicable for behavior generation of artificial agents as well as event recognition in given data.

At the seminar, there will be coffee.

AScI Talks Seminar presentations idea is to give a short (max 30 min) talk, which is accessible to audience from different disciplines. The event is open to everyone and no registration is required.
