This paper describes a two-tiered approach to the self-localization problem for soccer playing robots using g eneric o#-the-shelf color cameras. The solution consists of two layers; the top layer is ag lobal search assuming zero knowledg e, and the bottom layer is a local search, assuming a

of letters. The recognition problem is decomposed into two problems that are solved simultaneously. To find the best matching word for an input image, a Two-Tier Beam search is performed. In Tier one the search is constrained by a letter to PAW lexicon. In Tier two, the search is constrained by a PAW to word

English: In this paper the ethical problem will be discussed how moral judgments of foreign cultures and bygone epochs can be justified. After ruling out the extremes of moral absolutism (judging without any reservations by the standards of one’s own culture and epoch) and moral relativism (judging only by the respective standards of the time and culture in question) the following solution to the dilemma is sought: A distinction has to be made between judging the norms and institutions in power at a certain place and time and judging people acting within the social institutions of their time and culture. While the former may be judged rigorously, only taking into account the objective possibilities for having other institutions at a certain development stage, the latter should be judged against the background of the common sense morals of the respective time and culture. German: In diesem Aufsatz wird das ethische Problem erörtert, wie moralische Urteile über fremde Kulturen und vergangene Epochen gerechtfertigt werden können. Nach Ausschluss der Extreme des moralischen Absolutismus (uneingeschränkte Beurteilung nach den Maßstäben der eigenen Moral) und des moralischen Relativismus (Beurteilung ausschließlich nach den Maßstäben der beurteilten Kultur oder Epoche) wird die folgende Lösung angestrebt: Es muss eine Un-terscheidung getroffen werden zwischen der Beurteilung der Normen und der Insitutionen, die an einem bestimmten Ort und zu einer bes-
