abstract = {Mobile household robots need much knowledge about objects, places and actions
when performing more and more complex tasks. They must be able to recognize
objects, know what they are and how they can be used. This knowledge can
often be specified more easily in terms of action-related concepts than by
giving declarative descriptions of the appearance of objects. Defining chairs
as objects to sit on, for instance, is much more natural than describing
how chairs in general look like.
Having grounded symbolic models of its actions and related concepts allows
the robot to reason about its activities and improve its problem solving
performance.
In order to use action-related concepts, the robot must be able to find them in its
environment. We present a practical approach to robot knowledge representation that
combines description logics knowledge bases with data mining and (self-) observation
modules. The robot collects experiences while executing actions and uses them to
learn models and aspects of action-related concepts grounded in its perception and
action system.
We demonstrate our approach by learning places that are involved in mobile
robot manipulation actions.}
