The paper analyzes a diagrammatic reasoning problem that consists in finding a graphical layout which simultaneously satisfies a set of constraints expressed in a formal language a...
Possible influences of contexts on memory for routes are investigated. Route knowledge was established by learning a route which was presented on a computer screen. Activation of k...

We present an approach to spatial inference which is based on the procedural semantics of spatial relations. In contrast to qualitative reasoning, we do not use discrete symbolic m...

The transfer of spatial knowledge from virtual to real environments is one important issue in spatial cognition research. Up to now, studies in this domain have revealed that the p...
An approach to high-level interaction with autonomous robots by means of schematic maps is outlined. Schematic maps are knowledge representation structures to encode qualitative s...

Memory representations of spatial information require the choice of one or more reference systems to specify spatial relations. In two experiments we investigated the role of diffe...
Navigation has always been an interdisciplinary topic of research, because mobile agents of different types are inevitably faced with similar navigational problems. Therefore, huma...
Since humans usually prefer to communicate in qualitative and not in quantitative categories, qualitative spatial representations are of great importance interfaces of systems that...

This work is about the integration of the skills robot control, landmark recognition, and qualitative reasoning in a single autonomous mobile system. It deals with the transfer of ...
