Abstract

In this section, we describe a method based on hidden Markov models for learning and recognizing places in an indoor environment by a mobile robot. Hidden Markov models have been used for a long time in pattern recognition, especially in speech recognition. Their main advantages over other methods (e.g. neural networks, ... ) are their capabilities to modelize noisy temporal signals of variable length.
