Learning momentum: integration and experimentation

摘要

We further study the effects of learning momentum as defined by Arkin, Clark and Ram (1992) on robots, both simulated and real, attempting to traverse obstacle fields in order to reach a goal. Integration of these results into a large-scale software architecture, MissionLab, provides the ability to exercise these algorithms in novel ways. Insight is also sought in reference to when different learning momentum strategies should be used.
