Abstract

Affordances are a central concept of J.J. Gibson's approach to visual perception. We describe and discuss the concept of affordances with a brief look at its application to robotics, as well as provide an overview of several existing formalizations. It turns out that a representation of affordances can be based on a certain hierarchy of Pawlak's approximation spaces. We also outline how concepts could be used in a theory of affordances, and how affordances might be recognized in simple perceiving situations.
