In order to realize intelligent agent such as autonomous mobile robots, Reinforcement Learning is one of necessary techniques in behavior control system. However, applying the reinforcement learning to actual sized problem, the "curse of dimensionality" problem in partition of sensory states should be avoided maintaining computational efficiency. Furthermore the robot task is desired to be decomposed automatically in learning process for achievement of good performance. We tackle these two issues by applying modular fuzzy model with gating unit to reinforcement learning. The modular fuzzy model extending SIRMs architecture is formulated to apply Q-Learning algorithm. The gating unit that is constructed as a neural network model or simple learning parameters is installed to switch the use of the modular model for task decomposition. Through numerical examples, we found that the proposed method has fair convergence property of learning compared with the conventional model structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
