This paper presents a visual based localization
mechanism for a legged robot. Our proposal, fundamented
on a probabilistic approach, uses a precompiled topological
map where natural landmarks like doors or ceiling lights
are recognized by the robot using its on-board camera.
Experiments have been conducted using the AIBO Sony
robotic dog showing that it is able to deal with noisy sensors
like vision and to approximate world models representing
indoor ofce environments. The two major contributions of
this work are the use of this technique in legged robots, and
the use of an active camera as the main sensor
