Project summary.

ISIR (Institute of Intelligent Systems & Robotics) (former Laboratoire de Robotique de Paris,) of Paris 6 University studies neuro-cognitive human-space interaction in order to design and realize prototypes of intelligent systems, robotics and mechatronics systems, highly autonomous and/or able to assist healthy and handicapped (especially visually
impaired), in performing everyday life tasks.
In this thesis we intend to investigate different navigation strategies used by human and animal during the navigation in indoor and outdoor environments. A cognitive map built from extra- and intra pro pro prioceptives data seems to be a central and key element of such navigation (similar to this established during the SLAM by robots ?). This thesis
