Abstract:

In this presentation I will outline our work on mobile robots which started as a quest to find the position of the robot and over time has shifted to understanding the environment and how to act in it. I will also mention some examples of entrepreneurial endeavours connected to the research, sometimes by design and sometimes out of surprise.
