Dodd}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A novel biologically inspired controller for the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot in an evasion task is proposed. The controller takes advantage of the environment by calculating a measure of danger and subsequently choosing the parameters of a reinforcement learning based decision process. Two different reinforcement learning algorithms were used: Qlearning and Sarsa (λ). Simulations show that selecting dynamic parameters reduce the time while executing the decision making process, so the robot can obtain a policy to succeed in an escaping task in a realistic time.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {8}, year = {2010}, pages = {750 - 755}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1689}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/44}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 44, 2010}, }
