A learning architecture based on reinforcement learning for adaptive control of the walking machine LAURON

摘要

The learning of complex control behaviour of autonomous mobile robots is one of the actual research topics. In this article an intelligent control architecture is presented which integrates learning methods and available domain knowledge. This control architecture is based on Reinforcement Learning and allows continuous input and output parameters, hierarchical learning, multiple goals, self-organized topology of the used networks and online learning. As a testbed this architecture is applied to the six-legged walking machine LAURON to learn leg control and leg coordination.
