Dynamic update of the reinforcement function during learning

During the last decade, numerous contributions have been made to the use of reinforcement learning in the robot learning field. They have focused mainly on the generalization, memorization and exploration issues - mandatory for dealing with real robots. However, it is our opinion that the most diffi...
