English Abstract

This thesis presents an algorithmic approach to constructing cognitive maps for the intelligent robots from labeled architectural blueprint maps for sophisticated buildings.

Since most of the previous methods were studied in different areas, such as intelligent robot, artificial intelligence and image processing, none of those methods are considered this approach for development of cognitive maps.

The purpose of this thesis is to give intelligent robots the ability to be mobilized in critical and unsafe city buildings without the need of human guidance or interference, using architectural blueprint maps as the only knowledge source to accomplish their jobs.

New algorithms have been developed and built to be the core of the procedures and steps, which will be used by the intelligent robot for development of cognitive maps from the architectural blueprint maps.

These algorithms were defined and written using the standard programming code (pseudo code).

Some of these algorithms were tested and proved using MATLAB R2009b.

These algorithms will be facilitating the intelligent robot to be more capable of dealing with external recourses (maps) and having the ability to read and benefit from these kinds of maps.
