Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dorigo, Marco / Colombetti, Marco, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, foreword by Lashon Booker To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. ong>Theong> dynamics ong>ofong> ong>theong> environment are unpredictable, and ong>theong> robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and ong>theong>n adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies ong>theong> designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all ong>ofong> ong>theong> details ong>ofong> its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. "Robot Shaping" is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. ong>Theong> term "shaping" comes from experimental ong>psychologyong>, where it describes ong>theong> incremental training ong>ofong> animals. ong>Theong> authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide ong>theong> methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. ong>Theong>ir techniques are ong>basedong> on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which ong>theong>y have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size.

Epistemology is a difficult subject with its own vocabulary and concepts that are ong>ofong>ten esoteric and considered too academic for marketing decision makers and researchers to apply. Consequently, ong>theong> first sections ong>ofong> ong>theong> book disabuse this notion by explaining why incorporating a scientific way ong>ofong> viewing ong>theong> world and ong>theong> scientific method is actually a practical way to make better decisions. ong>Theong>se introductory chapters transition into a more formal discussion ong>ofong> philosophy ong>ofong> science, epistemology, and why marketing is a social science as opposed to merely an art or a practice, like medicine or engineering. ong>Theong> main body ong>ofong> ong>theong> book ong>theong>n guides ong>theong> reader through selected lessons from ong>theong> philosophy ong>ofong> science to improve decision making.
