Guided Self-organisation for Autonomous Robot Development

چکیده
The paper presents a method to guide the self-organised development of behaviours of autonomous robots. In earlier publications we demonstrated how to use the homeokinesis principle and dynamical systems theory to obtain self-organised playful but goal-free behaviour. Now we extend this framework by reinforcement signals. We validate the mechanisms with two experiment with a spherical robot. The first experiment aims at fast motion, where the robot reaches on average about twice the speed of a not reinforcement robot. In the second experiment spinning motion is rewarded and we demonstrate that the robot successfully develops pirouettes and curved motion which only rarely occur among the natural behaviours of the robot.

This paper presents an episodic mapping mechanism used for the self-localisation of autonomous mobile robots. A two layer self organising neural network classiies perceptual and episodic information to identify \perceptual landmarks" (and thus the robot's position in the world) uniquely. Through this process ambiguous and redundant sensory information is used to generate meaningful information ...

Through this process relevant information is obtained from the temporal ow of ambiguous and redundant sensor...
متن کاملTaming the Beast: Guided Self-organization of Behavior in Autonomous Robots
Self-organizing processes are crucial for the development of living beings. Practical applications in robots may benefit from the selforganization of behavior, e.g. for the increased fault tolerance and enhanced flexibility provided that external goals can also be achieved. We present several methods for the guidance of self-organizing control by externally prescribed criteria. We show that the...
متن کاملDevelopment of Integrated Behaviour in a Simulated Humanoid Robot Exploiting Language Assisted Training and Self Talk
In this project, a simulated humanoid robot learns to reach for, grasp and move a spherical object to a desired target location. The trial and error training process is divided into multiple stages where the robot first develops lower-level behaviours that it can later integrate to achieve the higher-level goal. The robot is supported by a caretaker who provides linguistic labels indicating the...

Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
