Abstract

This paper presents the application of a connectionist control-learning system to an autonomous mini-robot. The system's design is severely constrained by the computing power and memory available on board the mini-robot and the on-board training time is greatly limited by the short life of the battery. The system is capable of rapid unsupervised learning of output responses in temporal domains through the use of eligibility traces and data sharing within topologically defined neighborhoods.
