Abstract: Deep Learning justifiably attracted the attention and interest of the scientific community and industry as well as of the wider society and even policy makers. However, the predominant architectures (from Convolutional Neural Networks to Transformers) are hyper-parametric models with weights/parameters being detached from the physical meaning of the object of modelling. They are, essentially, … Read more
Abstract: Semantic and goal-oriented visual navigation is one of the most prominent tasks performed by intelligent species in their daily lives. This task is defined as the ability we have to navigate through our environment, finding targets and enabling interaction with it. Navigation methods used in robotics can be divided into two main categories: geometry-based … Read more
