DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING MACHINE AND METHOD

摘要

A machine and method capable of developing intelligent behavior frominteractionwith its environment directly using the machine's sensors and effectors. Themethoddescribed is independent of the type of sensors and actuators, or the tasks tobe executed,and, therefore, provides a general purpose learner that learns whileperforming. It sensesthe world, recalls what is learned, judges what to do and acts according towhat it haslearned. The machine enables the machine to learn directly from sensory inputstreamswhile interacting with the environment, including human teachers. Thepresented approachenables the system to self-organize its internal representation, and uses asystematic way toautomatically build multi-level representation using the Markov random processmodel.Reward and punishment are combined with sensor-based teaching to developintelligentbehavior.
