چکیده

Within the field of robotics, much recent attention has been given to control techniques that have been termed reactive or behavior-based. The design of such control systems for even a remotely interesting task is typically a laborious effort, requiring many hours of experimental "tweaking" as the actual behavior of the system is observed by the system designer. In this paper, we present a neuralbased reinforcement learning approach to the design of reactive control policies in which the designer specifies the desired behavior of the system, rather than the control program that produces the desired behavior.

Rapid Reinforcement Learning for Reactive Control Policy Design in Autonomous Robots

This paper describes work in progress on a neural-based reinforcement learning architecture for the design of reactive control policies for an autonomous robot. Reinforcement learning techniques allow a programmer to specify the control program at the level of the desired behavior of the robot, rather than at the level of the program that generates the behavior. In this paper, we explicitly beg...

Interactive Refinement of Control Policies for Autonomous Robots

The automation of various aspects of life through robotics is a promising and useful mechanism to the general enduser. Robots are required to accept human guidance, and in its absence, have to operate autonomously while ensuring safety and optimality. This paper presents an approach to variable autonomy that extends reinforcement learning with the capability of integrating user guidance at vary...

Using BELBIC based optimal controller for omni-directional threewheel robots model identified by LOLIMOT

In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. First, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named LoLiMoT. Then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. This emotional l...

Autonomous Guidance and Control for an Underwater Robotic Vehicle

Underwater robots require adequate guidance and control to perform useful tasks. Visual information is important to these tasks and visual servo control is one method by which guidance can be obtained. To coordinate and control thrusters, complex models and control schemes can be replaced by a connectionist learning approach. Reinforcement learning uses a reward signal and much interaction with...
