  1. Neural network learning of Robot Navigation Tasks Megan DiVall ECE 539 Dec. 14, 2010

  2. The “what” of the project • Use neural network classification tools studied in the class on a real set of data • Compare performance of tools to each other • The data: • UC-Irvine Machine Learning Repository – “Wall Following Robot Navigation Data Set” • Donated by researchers at Federal University of Ceará, Brazil

  3. The “Why” of the project • Opportunity to apply lessons from class to a “real-life” problem in field of interest • Compare performance of different tools using the same set of realistic data • Compare performance of tools from class to those used in associated study • Perceptron performed poorly without short-term memory mechanisms, problem is not linearly separable

  4. Experimental procedure • Research/choose tools to use • Format data to be usable by each tool; create training/testing groups • (If needed) Modify tool’s programming/settings to produce good results • Perform tests noting classification rate, ease of use, speed of calculation, etc.

  5. Chosen Tools • Perceptron • Just plain perceptron; won’t work well if problem is not linearly separable • Multilayer Perceptron • Used in original study • K-nearest neighbor classifier • Not used in original study • Maximum likelihood classifier using uni-variate Gaussian model • Not used in original study

  6. Expected Results • Perceptron will not do well; original study found problem to not be linearly separable • Other tools may or may not do well but probably better than the perceptron • Multilayer perceptron did well in original study • One or two tools will prove superior both in classification rate and calculation ease/speed

  7. Discussion • What tool would I be most likely to use if I was programming a real robot? • Would the performance of the “best” tool be good enough for real applications? • Could anything be done to improve performance of the “best” tool? • How do my results compare to expected real-world robot navigation performance?
