This e-book includes the lawsuits of the third foreign Symposium on self sufficient Minirobots for examine and Edutainment (AMiRE 2005) held in Awara-Spa, Fukui, JAPAN, from September 20 to 22, 2005. self reliant cellular Robots are in excessive call for for schooling and leisure, in particular human-friendly robots comparable to small puppy robots and small biped robots. self sustaining robots also are invaluable for learn and better schooling, in different fields than robotics. The symposium topic has been "highly clever know-how for robots," to achieve the autonomy in unknown and dynamic environments together with humans.

This is a small, cylindrical robot with differential drive and a fixed 1-D camera that images a horizontal line of 64 grey-scale pixels. The auto-iris of the camera was disabled to obtain a fixed exposure and frame-rate. The environment was a rectangular enclosure with white and black striped walls lit from above with white florescent lamps. Black cylinders and white cylinders were placed in the enclosure and images were thresholded so that the environment appeared to contain perfectly black or white cylinders viewed against perfectly black and white walls.

28 A. Eppendahl and A. Ojamaa A light field model is an occupancy model of light: each cell in the model includes sub-cells for the different directions light may pass through that cell [3]. Light field models were originally developed for rapid image synthesis in applications such as virtual reality and are attractive for their simplicity and generality. We use a naive light field model that neglects occlusion and simply adds the entire ray corresponding to an image pixel. In an environment with a known, uniform background, we could use such a naive light field to do volume carving.
