Optical Flow-Hermite and Fuzzy Q-Learning Based Robotic Navigation Approach

The present paper presents a bio-inspired optical flow approach to autonomous robotics navigation. It uses a Fuzzy Q-Learning (FQL) method to take decisions in an unknown environment through a reinforcement signal. The proposed method was implemented in a virtual robotics system using the V-REP software and in communication con MATLAB. The preliminary results show that the robot was able to navigate successfully in unknown environments.
