Abstract

Abstract: Aiming at autonomous cognition problem, applying the winner-takes-all(WTA) learning mechanism, using cortical-striatal synaptic modification principle in basal ganglia, as well as based on the operant conditioning reflex theory, the basal ganglia autonomous cognitive model is established, which is suitable for the cognitive learning with limited actions. Skinner's pigeons experiment was simulated by applying this bionic learning model, which showes a gradual process of adaptive learning. The simulation results reflect that the proposed cognitive model is effective and can be used in the balance learning for a self-balancing robot. In the premise of unknown robot mathematical model, the purpose of self-balancing learning is achieved through the operant learning in the proposed model. This research provides a reference for agent's bionic cognitive model.
