NeuroCOLT Technical Report NC-TR-01-112
ABSTRACT We discuss a task for mobile robots that requires fast learning in a completely autonomous fashion. Furthermore we describe a rather inexpensive robot "Oskar" that solves this task. Tasks of a similar nature arise in many application areas where one needs to proceed by trial und error, for example in the area of construction, repair, or rescue. The strategy as well as details of the algorithm QUICK-LEARN that Oskar employs -- in addition to longterm learning via a neural network -- are presented in this article. Further details and videos of the robot are available from http://www.igi.tugraz.at/maass/robotik/oskar.
