Behavior learning and evolution of collective autonomous mobile robots based on reinforcement learning and distributed genetic algorithms

Abstract

In this paper, we present the reinforcement learning and distributed genetic algorithm based behavior learning of the distributed autonomous mobile robots. The internal reinforcement signal for the reinforcement learning is generated by fuzzy inference, and dynamic recurrent neural networks are used as action generation module. We adopt the distributed genetic algorithms for the cooperative behavior emergence. We show the validity of the proposed learning and evolution algorithm by computer simulation.
