Abstract:
In this work, we developed a hybrid-learning based model for intelligent control of autonomous mobile robots.In the proposed model, we used the Q-learning technique for navigation and the inter-process communication (IPC) for message passing between the robots. First, we developed a simulation program based on multi-agent paradigm that adopts these techniques for controlling the movements of the mobile robot and for collision avoidance. Second, we conducted experiments on three robots from the Robix Company and results show a good performance of the proposed method. At the motion control level, the Q-Learning technique is trained to perform motor control that moves one of the robots from the resource point to the destination point and back. The communication between the robots is carried out by using the inter-process communication technique (IPC).
