Abstract

We present a biologically motivated computational model that is able to anticipate and evaluate multiple hypothetical sensorimo-tor sequences. Our Model for Anticipation based on Cortical Representations (MACOR) allows a completely parallel search at the neocortical level using assemblies of rate coded neurons for grouping, separation, and selection of sensorimotor sequences. For a vision-controlled local navigation of a mobile robot Khepera, we can demonstrate that our anticipative approach outperforms a reactive one. We also compare our explicitely planning approach with the implicitely planning Q-learning.
