Abstract:

We consider the problem of reaching a given goal state from a given start state by letting an `animat' produce a sequence of actions in an environment with multiple obstacles. Simple trajectory planning tasks are solved with the help of `neural' gradient-based algorithms for learning without a teacher to generate sequences of appropriate subgoals in response to novel start/goal combinations.



Relevant topic areas: Problem solving and planning, goal-directed behavior, action selection and behavioral sequences, hierarchical and parallel organizations, neural correlates of behavior, perception and motor control.
