Planning and Learning Goal-directed Sequences of Robot Arm Movements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes two new types of neural networks. Firstly, a neural implementation of a resistive grid for path planning. Its advantages and limitations are discussed using the example of a 2-joint robot arm. Two of the limitations are the jerkiness of the movements and the inaccurate end-position. Secondly, as a solution to these two problems, a new type of sequence learning neural network is proposed. This 2-layer network can learn in one pass the sequence of movements defined by the resistive-grid. It uses RBF nodes with receptive fields centered on a sequence of starting positions in the configuration space of the arm, and with weights to the output layer being used to point to the next position in configuration space. The output layer uses a new type of node with output activity being equal to the activity-weighted average of the input weights. This network generates a smooth trajectory of the arm and an accurate end position.

SOVEREIGN: An autonomous neural system for incrementally learning planned action sequences to navigate towards a rewarded goal
How do reactive and planned behaviors interact in real time? How are sequences of such behaviors released at appropriate times during autonomous navigation to realize valued goals? Controllers for both animals and mobile robots, or animats, need reactive mechanisms for exploration, and learned plans to reach goal objects once an environment becomes familiar. The SOVEREIGN (Self-Organizing, Visi...
متن کاملLatent Learning and Action Planning in Robots with Anticipatory Classifier Systems
Two applications of Anticipatory Classifier Systems (ACS) in robotics are discussed. The first one is a simulation of an experiment about latent learning in rats with a mobile robot. It shows that an ACS is able to learn latently, i.e. in the absence of environmental reward and that ACS can do action planning. The second one is about learning of the hand-eye coordination of a robot arm in conju...

متن کاملThe generalization of visuomotor learning to untrained movements and movement sequences based on movement vector and goal location remapping.
The planning of goal-directed movements is highly adaptable; however, the basic mechanisms underlying this adaptability are not well understood. Even the features of movement that drive adaptation are hotly debated, with some studies suggesting remapping of goal locations and others suggesting remapping of the movement vectors leading to goal locations. However, several previous motor learning ...
متن کاملLearning Grounded Relational Symbols from Continuous Data for Abstract Reasoning
Learning from experience how to manipulate an environment in a goal-directed manner is one of the central challenges in research on autonomous robots. In the case of object manipulation, efficient learning and planning should exploit the underlying relational structure of manipulation problems and combine geometric state descriptions with abstract symbolic representations. When appropriate symb...
