(MicroStep-MIS, SK)<br>We introduce subsumption as simplified method how to mimics biological evolution for purposes of robot construction. Features of biological creatures as their situatedness in particular environment and thinkering (bricolage) during their evolution are used as important insiration.

* [[Image:logoBESTsmall.png]] Lecture '''Bayesian Robot Programming and Probabilistic Robotics.'''<br>''Mgr. Pavel Petrovič, PhD.'' (FMFI UK, SK)<br>The information about the robot environment acquired from robot sensors is uncertain, ambiguous and noisy. To cope with this kind of information, probabilistic modeling of the world is appropriate. The parameters of the probabilistic distributions can be obtained by learning from experimental data. This tutorial will introduce basic concepts used in probabilistic robotics and demonstrate them on practical examples.
