A ROBOTIC PLATFORM FOR AUTONOMY STUDIES

Abstract

This paper describes a mobile robotic platform and a software framework for applications and development of robotic experiments integrating teleoperation and autonomy. An application using supervised learning is developed in which the agent is trained by teleoperation. This allows the agent to learn the perception to action mapping from the teleoperator in real time, such that the task can be repeated in an autonomous way, with some generalization. A radial basis function network (RBF) trained by a sequential learning algorithm is used to learn the mapping. Experimental results are shown.
