Abstract. In the philosophy of behavior-based robotics, design of complex behavior needs the interaction of basic behaviors that are easily implemented. Action selection mechanism ...
We present an algorithm, HI-MAT (Hierarchy Induction via Models And Trajectories), that discovers MAXQ task hierarchies by applying dynamic Bayesian network models to a successful...
A Skilligent robot must be able to learn skills autonomously to accomplish a task. "Skilligence" is the capacity of the robot to control behaviors reasonably, based on th...
— In this paper, we present an approach allowing a robot to learn a generative model of its own physical body from scratch using self-perception with a single monocular camera. O...
A central problem in learning in complex environmentsis balancing exploration of untested actions against exploitation of actions that are known to be good. The benefit of explora...
