Decision Making Under Multi Task Based on Priority for Each Task

Abstract

In recent years, autonomous robots become to be desired to treat multi-task. A robot must decide a concrete action for plural objectives. Major researches try to realize this by weighted rewards. Weighted rewards can represent a human's intention easily. But weight of each task must change dynamically by a change of surrounding situation or of a robot status. Authors consider an independent learning for each task and selection of one concrete action from candidates of each learning. Authors propose a priority function to calculate priority for each task corresponding to surrounding situation or a robot status and propose a system which do decision making by using the priority function. Authors confirmed the usefulness of proposed method with simulation.
