Perceptual system and action system of a mobile robot with structured intelligence

Proposes a controlling method of a mobile robot with structured intelligence. Modular neural networks are applied for action control based on a perceiving-acting cycle of ecological psychology. In the proposed method, the perceptual system and action system restrict each other. Next, we conduct several experiments using a mobile robot we developed. The experimental results show the robot can learn actions based on the perceiving-acting cycle. Finally, we discuss the unit of the action using modular neural networks for robotic systems.
