article in NS about the Purdue guessing robot navigators... http://www.newscientisttech.com/article/dn11805-guessing-robots-navigate-faster.html I think I get a toljaso on this one --- if the architecture were composed of modules that did CBR, each in its own language, from the very start, this

You could probably buy 10 cheap webcams and put them all around the robot and get some vision algorithms to turn them into 3D scenes, which are avoided/mapped? This seems like a pretty well understood and constrained problem. It also sounds like a lot of robot perception work on object
