Process control with adaptive range coding

Abstract

Dynamical control with adaptive range coding eliminates fundamental shortcomings found in earlier applications of range (course) coding which used fixed partitioning. Adaptive range coding has the advantages of efficient implementation, execution and generalization. With the adaptive algorithm, region shapes are continually adjusted during operation and will self-organize to reflect the global dynamics of the system and the environment. The system progressively develops a control map relating environmental states, control actions, and future reinforcements.
