Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Determining the Shape of a Convex N-Sided Polygon by Using 2n+k Tactile Probes
A robot may see into a workspace in many ways. It may have cameras which present entire projections of a scene at once. Often, however, the robot will have to rely on simple probes into the workspace. For each probe the robot moves along some line until it encounters some sort of object boundary. By recording the locations of such contacts, the robot can infer object locations.
