A Conceptual Space Architecture for Widely Heterogeneous Robotic Systems

This paper describes the value of the conceptual space approach for use in teams of robots that have radically different sensory capabilities. The formal underpinnings and perceptual processes are described in the context of a biohazard detection task. The architecture is based on the conceptual spaces representation that Gardenfors suggested as an alternative to more traditional AI approaches.
