Abstract

We present here a simulated model of a mobile Kuka Youbot which makes use of Dynamic Field Theory for its underlying perceptual and motor control systems, while learning behavioral sequences through Reinforcement Learning. Although dynamic neural fields have previously been used for robust control in robotics, high-level behavior has generally been pre-programmed by hand. In the present work we extend a recent framework for integrating reinforcement learning and dynamic neural fields, by using the principle of shaping, in order to reduce the search space of the learning agent. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
