Lagarde Andry Gaussier Giovannangeli.Temporal Versus Spatial Behaviors for Navigation Tasks and Arm Control EPIROB08 (submitted)

This paper discusses the role of two antagonist neural networks for the learning and control of complex behaviors composed as a sequence of elementary states. Learning a pathway with a mobile robot or a sequence of actions with a robot arm can be seen either as the result of the learning of a temporal sequence or as the result of the natural dynamics of a sensory-motor system using appearance based approaches for instance. As a result, we will discuss the performances and the complementary features of each system, and propose a unique control architecture embedding both systems for long life learning.
