X Abstract

in this paper, a hybrid learning approach for obstacle avoidance of a mobile robot is presented. the key features of the approach are, firstly, innate hardwired behaviors which are used to bootstrap learning in the mobile robot system. a neuro-fuzzy controller is developed from a pre-wired or innate controller based on supervised learning in a simulation environment. the fuzzy inference system has been constructed based on the generalized dynamic fuzzy neural networks learning algorithm of Wu and Er, whereby structure and parameters identification are carried out automatically and simultaneously. Secondly, the neuro-fuzzy controller is capable of re-adapting in a new environment. After carrying out the learning phase on a simulated robot, the controller is implemented on a real robot. A reinforcement learning method based on the fuzzy actor-critic learning algorithm is employed so that the system can re-adapt to a new environment without human intervention. In this phase, the structure of the fuzzy inference system and the parameters of the antecedent parts of fuzzy rules are frozen, and reinforcement learning is applied to further tune the parameters in the consequent parts of the fuzzy rules. Through the hybrid learning approach, an efficient and compact neuro-fuzzy system is generated for obstacle avoidance of a mobile robot in the real world.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
