This paper describes ongoing research into the role of optic-flow derived
spatial representations and their relation to cognitive computational models
of mental rotation in primates, with the goal of producing effective and
unique autonomous robot navigational capabilities. A theoretical framework is
outlined based on a vectorial interlingua spanning perception, cognition and
motor control. Progress to date on its implementation within an autonomous robot
control architecture is presented.
