what’s the problem?

• WHERE AM I?

• But what does this mean, really?

• Frame of reference is important

  • Local/Relative: Where am I vs. where I was?
  • Global/Absolute: Where am I relative to the world?

• Location can be specified in two ways

  • Geometric: Distances and angles
  • Topological: Connections among landmarks
