Representing and Solving Spatial Problems (Dagstuhl Seminar 21492)

Authors: Pedro Cabalar, Zoe Falomir, Paulo E. Santos, and Thora Tenbrink

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 11, Issue 11 (2022)


Abstract
Everyday life takes place in space and time, and spatial experience lies at the heart of our existence. Understanding how we conceive spatial relations, and how we solve spatio-temporal problems, is therefore key to understanding human cognition. Spatial cognition research has advanced considerably over the past decades, with major successes particularly in computational implementations of knowledge representation and reasoning methods. Still, a range of key issues continue to pose major challenges. The goal of this report is to discuss the various options for the formalisation, implementation and automated solution of spatial problems including the following issues: the identification and specification of relevant concepts as expressed in human language; modules for automated understanding of domain descriptions; the use of spatial structures and affordances for direct spatial problem solving; and, the development of efficient planning systems capable of providing feasible solutions to spatial problems. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 21492 "Representing and Solving Spatial Problems".

A Qualitative Spatial Descriptor of Group-Robot Interactions

Authors: Zoe Falomir and Cecilio Angulo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 86, 13th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2017)


Abstract
The problem of finding a suitable qualitative representation for robots to reason about activity spaces where they carry out tasks such as leading or interacting with a group of people is tackled in this paper. For that, a Qualitative Spatial model for Group Robot Interaction (QS-GRI) is proposed to define Kendon’s F-formations [Kendon, 2010] depending on: (i) the relative location of the robot with respect to other individuals involved in that interaction; (ii) the individuals’ orientation; (iii) the shared peri-personal distance; and (iv) the role of the individuals (observer, main character or interactive). An iconic representation is provided and Kendon’s formations are defined logically. The conceptual neighborhood of the evolution of Kendon formations is studied, that is, how one formation is transformed into another. These transformations can depend on the role that the robot have, and on the amount of people involved.
