The Electric Field Approach, EFA, is a heuristic for behavior selection for autonomous robot control. This thesis deals with the problem of using the EFA as a heuristics for the perceptive behaviors. The integration is done by extending the EFA with having
Potential fields is popular technique in autonomous robotics. The Electric Field Approach is such a technique used for high level robot control. The approach was developed by Team Sweden for use in RoboCup 2000, a soccer competition for mobile robots. This thesis
An implementation of the Electric Field Approach applied to the simulated RoboCup is presented, together with a demonstration of a learning system. Results are presented from the optimization of the Electric Field parameters in a limited situation, using the learning system. Learning
