Abstract

In this paper, we analyze work on mobile robotics with the goal of highlighting the uses of contextual knowledge aiming at a flexible and robust performance of the system. In particular, we analyze different robotic tasks, ranging from robot behavior to perception, and then propose to characterize "contextualization" as a design pattern. As a result, we argue that many different tasks indeed can exploit contextual information and, therefore, a single explicit representation of knowledge about context may lead to significant advantages both in the design and in the performance of mobile robots.
