Rapid Simultaneous Learning of Multiple Behaviours with a Mobile Robot

Although various robot behaviour learning methods have been available for some time they generally are too slow to be of much practical use. This paper provides a brief introduction to a novel robot behaviour learning method called Trajectory Velocity Learning and provides some details on implementing Trajectory Velocity Learning on sonar robots with differential drive wheels. The main advantage of Trajectory Velocity Learning is that it enables a mobile robot equipped with range sensing devices to automatically acquire multiple adjustable behaviours quickly and simultaneously.
