Reinforcement learning for vision based mobile robots using the Hough Transform

Vision-based perception gives autonomous robots the ability to perform a varied set of tasks, due to the great amount and quality of information it procures. Although Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a learning model that has made a great impact in the autonomous robots field, its application to visio...
