Abstract
We study the problem of object recognition by considering it in the context of an agent operating in an environment, where the agent's intentions translate into a set of behaviors. In this context, an object can fulfill a function; if the agent recognizes this, it has in effect recognized the object. To perform this type of recognition we need on one hand a definition of the desired function, and on the other the means of determining whether the object can fulfill that function. To illustrate this approach we describe the visual recognition abilities that might be needed by an autonomous cleaning robot.
