Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new reinforcement learning algorithm
to generate a fuzzy controller for robot motions. This algorithm
generates a range of continuous real-valued actions, and the
reinforcement signal is self-scaled. This prevents the weights from
overshooting when the system receives very large reinforcement values.
Therefore, this algorithm can obtain a solution in fewer iterations. The
proposed method is applied to the control of the brachiation robot,
which moves dynamically from branch to branch like a gibbon swinging its
body in a pendulum-like fashion. Through computer simulations, we show
the fast convergence and the robustness against disturbances
