It is the mapping function of environment into phenotype for that genotype.
In this work, we propose a smart (and wearable) shoe, called "Smart Shoe", which integrates multiple laser scanners and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to build a 3D map of environments in real time.
The system builds geometrical point-based maps of environments employing an information-based exploration strategy that determines the best observation positions by taking into account both the distance travelled and the information gathered.
Three dimensional (3D) mapping of environments has gained tremendous attention, from academic to industry to military, owing to the ever increasing needs of environmental modeling as well as monitoring.
The improvement provided by this fully digital solution is potentially useful in different applications such as: collision avoidance systems, 3D mapping of environments and, in general, remote sensing systems which need wide distance and dynamics.
Aleksandra also co-organized the 2016 Doctor of Design Conference #decoding, which investigated the impact of codes in mapping of environments, demarcation of legal territories, operational protocols of logistics and control of built environment, highlighting the interconnections between design techniques, economic processes, and regulatory mechanisms.
Specifically, FiveAI wants to use AI/machine learning and computer vision to remove the need for highly detailed "prior 3D mapping" of environments, which I'm told is the predominant method used in autonomous vehicle navigation.
Typically, robot requires complicated logic about the obstacles and the topological mapping of environments [1, 2] designed by human beings based on the information provided from vision or depth sensors.
Working in Canada and London in the 1970s, physiological psychologist John O'Keefe recorded the electrical activity in the brains of free-roaming rodents to demonstrate that cells in the seahorse-shaped hippocampus form cognitive maps of environments the animals explored.
And this is important, once we see the 3D map of the environment we can start to understand how to best move through that environment," he said.
This model uses a feature-based map of the environment and the feature extraction process makes it robust to occlusions and changes in the environment.
