چکیده

Developing elementary behavior is the starting point for the realization of complex systems. In this paper we win describe a learning algorithm that realizes a simple goal-reaching behavior for an autonomous vehicle when a-priori knowledge of the environment is not provided. The state of the system is based on information received by a visual sensor. A Q-learnlng algorithm associates the optimal action to each state, developing the optimal state-action rules (optimal policy). Afew training trials are sufficient, in simulation, to learn she optimal policy since during the test rials the set of actions is initially imited. The state and action sets are then enlarged, introducing fuzzy variables with their membership functions tothe extent of tackling errors in state stimation dueto the noise in the vision measurements. Experimental resuILs, both in simulated and real environment, areshown.

Efficient Human Following Using Reinforcement Learning

In this paper, we present an approach that relies on machine learning techniques to follow people efficiently during robotic assistance tasks, in which the robot is mainly interested in reaching the final navigation goal of the human. People can perform unexpected actions during navigation, which can lead to inefficient trajectories to the target destination (ex: answer land-line phones ... etc...

Forgetting in Reinforcement Learning Links Sustained Dopamine Signals to Motivation

It has been suggested that dopamine (DA) represents reward-prediction-error (RPE) defined in reinforcement learning and therefore DA responds to unpredicted but not predicted reward. However, recent studies have found DA response sustained towards predictable reward in tasks involving self-paced behavior, and suggested that this response represents a motivational signal. We have previously show...

Utilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs

Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...
