The document discusses task representation in robots for coupling perception to action in dynamic scenes. It notes that in static environments, robots use map-based or visual servoing navigation, but these do not work well in dynamic environments. The document proposes directly mapping point motion from images to observe direction of motion and collision times, without needing 3D reconstruction. It also suggests analyzing optical flow to segment independent motion and define motion properties. The conclusions advocate defining tasks based on changes in contact relations that can be monitored in image space, rather than using Cartesian world representations.

Task-Specific Indexing to Information
Example – Collision Avoidance
Cartesian maps originate from the time
when the robot was the only moving
agent in static environments - there,
collision is proportional to distance to an
object
In dynamic environments, the collision avoidance task is a
function of distance and velocity of the object = collision time

Conclusions
 Cartesian Representation of the world is not always
appropriate for task description
 Exchange of information clos to the sensor representation
results in more robust results – avoid external parameters
 Parsing of actions can be defined as changes of contact
relations in the world that can also be monitored directly in the
image space.
 Need of new research in
• Optimization in new representations
• Modification of the control approaches
• Analysis of the task relevant physical properties (for sensor mapping)
