Recurrent Neural Networks in a Mobile Robot Navigation Task

  • Conference paper
Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms

Abstract

Recurrent neural networks are applied to the forward modeling of the sensory-motor flow of a miniature mobile robot. It is shown that the robot is able to predict the sensory flow a few steps ahead, which suffices for simple environments. The proposed method requires mainly topological information (little geometrical information is used), simplifying the problem considerably.
