Learning momentum: online performance enhancement for reactive systems

• Russell J. Clark 0001

The authors describe a reactive robotic control system which incorporates aspects of machine learning to improve the system's ability to navigate successfully in unfamiliar environments. This system overcomes limitations of completely reactive systems by exercising online performance enhancement without the need for high-level planning. The goal of the learning system is to give the autonomous robot the ability to adjust the scheme control parameters in an unstructured dynamic environment. The results of a successful implementation that learns to navigate out of a box canyon are presented. This system never resorts to a high-level planner, but instead learns continuously by adjusting gains based on the progress made so far. The system is successful because it is able to improve its performance in reaching a goal in a previously unfamiliar and dynamic world. >
