Stable encoding of robot paths using normalised radial basis networks: application to an autonomous wheelchair
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Neural Network (NN) using Normalised Radial Basis Functions (NRBF) is used for encoding the sequence of positions forming the path of an autonomous wheelchair. The network operates by continuously producing the next position for the wheelchair. As the path passes several times over the same point, additional phase information is added to the position information. This avoids the aliasing problem. The use of normalised RBFs creates an attraction field over the whole space and enables the wheelchair to recover from perturbations, e.g. due to the avoidance of people.

Navigation 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 ...

In contrast to most applications, it is not suitable for autonomous agents to distinguish between a learning and a performance phase; rather continuous learning is required, especially in dynamically changing, partially unknown environments. This paper shows how modified radial basis function networks can be used as controllers for mobile robots that can adapt to different environments and also...
