Abstract

A method for generating a saliency map for a robot device having sensor means, the saliency map indicating to the robot device patterns in the input space of the sensor means which are important for carrying out a task; wherein the saliency map comprises a weighted contribution from a disparity saliency selection carried out on the basis of depth information gathered from the sensor means, such that a weighted priority is allocated to patterns being within a defined peripersonal space in the environment of the sensor means.
