Abstract
The "Autonomous City Explorer (ACE)" project provides a robot capable of navigating in unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or prior map knowledge. The ACE robot finds its way by interacting with pedestrians in a natural and intuitive way. In a recent experiment the robot managed to successfully travel a distance of 1.5 km from the campus of the Technische Universität München to Marienplatz, the central square of Munich. This pilot project is a first step towards knowledge accquisition through interaction between humans and future humanoid robots.
