Reusable Reinforcement Learning for Modular Self Motivated Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presented topic is from the research fields called Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this paper, there is presented novel approach to designing agent architectures with its requirements. The approach is inspired by inherited modularity of biological brains and agent architectures are represented here as set of given reusable modules connected into a particular topology. This paper presents design of two particular modules for future use in more complex architectures. The modules are used for implementing model-free motivation-driven Reinforcement Learning (RL). First, the novel framework for these architectures is described together with a used simulator. Then, the design of two new reusable domain-independent components of agent architectures is described. Finally, experimental validation of these new components and their future use is mentioned.

Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning
Psychologists call behavior intrinsically motivated when it is engaged in for its own sake rather than as a step toward solving a specific problem of clear practical value. But what we learn during intrinsically motivated behavior is essential for our development as competent autonomous entities able to efficiently solve a wide range of practical problems as they arise. In this paper we present...

متن کاملAutomated Design of Adaptive Controllers for Modular Robots using Reinforcement Learning
Designing distributed controllers for self-reconfiguring modular robots has been consistently challenging. We have developed a reinforcement learning approach which can be used both to automate controller design and to adapt robot behavior on-line. In this paper, we report on our study of reinforcement learning in the domain of self-reconfigurable modular robots: the underlying assumptions, the...
متن کاملIntrinsic Motivation For Reinforcement Learning Systems
Motivation is a key factor in human learning. We learn best when we are highly motivated to learn. Psychologists distinguish between extrinsically-motivated behavior, which is behavior undertaken to achieve some externally supplied reward, such as a prize, a high grade, or a high-paying job, and intrinsically-motivated behavior, which is behavior done for its own sake. Is there an analogous dis...
متن کاملIncremental learning of skill collections based on intrinsic motivation
Life-long learning of reusable, versatile skills is a key prerequisite for embodied agents that act in a complex, dynamic environment and are faced with different tasks over their lifetime. We address the question of how an agent can learn useful skills efficiently during a developmental period, i.e., when no task is imposed on him and no external reward signal is provided. Learning of skills i...
