Abstract :
We address the problem of shape recognition in the context of autonomous navigation of mobile robots. We present an association procedure which is able to establish the correspondence between elements of a learned fuzzy internal representation of the environment and currently perceived objects. Using this procedure, a mobile robot is able to periodically decrease the uncertainty affecting its position
