REACTIVE, SEQUENCED Q-LEARNING OF MULTIPLE TASKS BY AN AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT

Literature review. Different ways researchers have handled multiple tasks: 1) Separate learning of tasks (sub-tasks) and design an arbiter to select which Q-table to follow [Mahadevan & Connel 2) Learning for Easy Missions (LEM). Decompose a goal oriented task: from easy situations to subsequently more and more difficult ones. Addresses the problem of infrequent and delayed reinforcement. [Asada et al. 1996], 3) Decomposition of tasks: a) Switching between task by means of an arbiter. [Whitehead et al. 1993]
