Environmental change adaptation for mobile robot navigation
Most of existing robot learning methods have considered the environment where their robots work unchanged, therefore, the robots have to learn from scratch if they encounter new environments. This paper proposes a method which adapts robots to environmental changes by efficiently transferring a learned policy in the previous environments into a new one and effectively modifying it to cope with ...
متن کاملForecasting agriculturally driven global environmental change.
During the next 50 years, which is likely to be the final period of rapid agricultural expansion, demand for food by a wealthier and 50% larger global population will be a major driver of global environmental change. Should past dependences of the global environmental impacts of agriculture on human population and consumption continue, 10(9) hectares of natural ecosystems would be converted to ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Adaptation to Periodic Environmental Change
Despite Darwin’s pluralistic view that “natural selection has been the main, but not the exclusive means of modification” (Darwin, 1872) (quoted in (Lewontin and Gould, 1979)), subsequent major developments in evolutionary biology such as the theories of natural selection, the modern synthesis, and molecular neo-darwinism have biased scientific explanations of evolution towards gene-centric the...
متن کاملOn-line Robot Adaptation to Environmental Change
Robots performing tasks constantly encounter changing environmental conditions. These changes in the environment vary from the dramatic, such as rearrangement of furniture, to the subtle, such as a burnt out light bulb or a different carpeting. We do not recognize many of these changes, especially subtle changes, but robots do. These changes often lead to the failure of robots. In this thesis, ...
متن کاملHundred Years of Environmental Change and Phytoplankton Ecophysiological Variability Archived in Coastal Sediments
Marine protist species have been used for several decades as environmental indicators under the assumption that their ecological requirements have remained more or less stable through time. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that marine protists, including several phytoplankton species, are in fact highly diverse and may quickly respond to changes in the environment. Predicting how fu...
