Behavior-based intelligent mobile robot using an immunized reinforcement adaptive learning mechanism

In this paper, a novel immunized reinforcement adaptive learning mechanism employing a behavior-based knowledge and the on-line adapting capabilities of the immune system is proposed and applied to an intelligent mobile robot. Rather than building a detailed mathematical model of immune systems, we try to explore principles in the immune system focusing on its self-organization, adaptive capability and immune memory. Two levels of the immune system, underlying the ‘micro’ level of cell interactions, and emergent ‘macro’ level of the behavior of the system are investigated. luate the proposed immunized architecture, a ‘food foraging work’ simulation environment containing a mobile robot, foods, with/without obstacles is created to simulate the real world. The simulation results validate several significant characteristics of the immunized architecture: adaptability, learning, self-organizing, and stable ecological niche approaching.
