Towards Automatic Shaping in Robot Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shaping is a potentially powerful tool in reinforcement learning applications. Shaping often fails to function e ectively because of a lack of understanding about its e ects when applied in reinforcement learning settings and the use of inadequate algorithms in its implementation. Because of these di culties current shaping techniques require some form of manual intervention. We examine some of the principles involved in shaping and present a new algorithm for automatic transferral of knowledge which uses Qvalues established in a previous task to guide exploration in the learning of a new task. This algorithm is applied to two di erent but related robot navigation tasks.

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...

متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
