Abstract
. This paper explores and reasons about the interplay between symbolic and continuous representations. We first provide some historical perspective on the signal and symbol integration as viewed by the Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and Computer Vision communities. The domain of autonomous robotic agents residing in the dynamically changing environments anchors well different aspects of this integration and allows us to look at the problem in its entirety. Models of reasoning, sensing and control actions of such agents determine three different dimensions for discretization of the agent-world behavioral state space. The design and modeling of robotic agents, where these three aspects have to be closely tied together, provide a good experimental platform for addressing the signal-to-symbol-to-signal transformation problem. We present some experimental results from the domain of cooperating mobile agents involved in tasks of navigation and manipulation. 1 Introduction To motivat...
