A neural network model of avoidance and approach behaviors for mobile robots

چکیده
In this paper we describe a neural network for reactive and adaptive robot navigation. The network is based on a model of classical and operant conditioning first proposed by Grossberg [3]. The network has been successfully implemented on the real Khepera robot. This work shows the potential of applying self-organizing neural networks to the area of intelligent robotics.

متن کاملCombining associative learning and nonassociative learning to achieve robust reactive navigation in mobile robots
We present a neural network that learns to control approach and avoidance behaviors in a mobile robot based on three forms of animal learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and habituation. Mechanisms of classical conditioning are used to learn to predict the proximity of obstacles and sources of light. At the same time the robot learns through operant conditioning to generate t...

In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...
متن کاملApplication of Biological Learning Theories to Mobile Robot Avoidance and Approach Behaviors
We present a neural network that learns to control approach and avoidance behaviors in a mobile robot based on a form of animal learning known as operant conditioning. Learning, which requires no supervision, takes place as the robot moves around an environment cluttered with obstacles and light sources. The neural network requires no knowledge of the geometry of the robot or of the quality, nu...
