چکیده

Controlling autonomous, humanoid robots in a dynamic, continuous, and real-time environment is a complex task. We have used an Extended Kalman Filter to track the position and velocity of the soccer ball in the RoboCup 3D soccer simulation scenario. The influence of reducing the error in the ball estimate on a high-level behavior is then demonstrated using the keep-away behavior. We have applied Sarsa(λ) with tile-coding as a linear function approximator. The keep-away task has been successfully learned in the 2D Soccer Simulation League a few years ago; in this paper, we apply similar ideas on a humanoid robot and describe new problems that arise with both the different robot model and the environment. The learned behavior depends highly on the underlying skills, which is shown using different ball localizations. The results are promising, yet reveal a new level of complexity. Keywords-Extended Kalman Filter, Reinforcement Learning, Sarsa(λ)

Doppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter

The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...
