The perception problem and the impact on robotics and computer vision
2011
Why is there a perception problem in robotics? Given the increases in the speed of computer hardware and technology
which has followed Moore's Law, why haven't there been commensurate advances in computer perception technology,
which would enable a robot to respond appropriately to its environment? Perhaps the algorithms used for perception are
not appropriate for the problem? The computer vision problem was assumed to be easy, and the supposedly more
difficult challenges of problem solving and decision making were tackled first. As it turned out, problem solving and
decision making were handled relatively easily by symbolic representations and predicate logic, however, the perception
of the real world turned out to be much more difficult. What are the algorithms that have been used for perception in
robotics and why do they sometimes fail at reproducing human-like behavior? How can we learn from biological
systems which, through evolution, have made great advances in solving the difficult problems of perception and
classification?
