H.; Mahadevan, Sridhar\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding a robot that learns to perform a task has been  acknowledged as one of the major challenges facing artificial  intelligence. Self-improving robots would relieve humans from much of  the drudgery of programming and would potentially allow operation in  environments that were changeable or only partially known. Progress  towards this goal would also make fundamental contributions to  artificial intelligence by furthering our understanding of how to  successfully integrate disparate abilities such as perception,  planning, learning and action.\u003cbr\u003e  Although its roots can be traced back to the late fifties, the area of  robot learning has lately seen a resurgence of interest. The flurry of  interest in robot learning has partly been fueled by exciting new work  in the areas of reinforcement earning, behavior-based architectures,  genetic algorithms, neural networks and the study of artificial life.  \u003cem\u003eRobot Learning\u003c\/em\u003e gives an overview of some of the current research  projects in robot learning being carried out at leading universities  and research laboratories in the United States. The main research  directions in robot learning covered in this book include:  reinforcement learning, behavior-based architectures, neural networks,  map learning, action models, navigation and guided exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461363965\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3184-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398545862796,"sku":"9781461363965","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461363965.jpg?v=1775009683","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461363965","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
