We are interested in semantic information, which gives meaning to spatial information like images or geometric maps. We present a multi-hierarchical approach to enable a mobile robot to acquire semantic information from its sensors, and to use it for navigation tasks. In our approach, the link between spatial and semantic information is established via anchoring. We show experiments on a real mobile robot that demonstrate its ability to use and infer new semantic information from its environment, improving its operation.} }
