基于空间探索和认知图构建的生物启发式目标导向导航模型

为实现智能自主运行体面向目标的导航知识生成及运行控制，该文研究了一种基于空间探索和认知图构建的生物启发式目标导向(GO)导航模型，该模型由空间探索、认知图构建和GO导航控制3个部分组成。在空间探索中，将网格细胞(GCs)到位置细胞(PCs)模型和视觉位置细胞生成模型融合后生成的位置细胞表征当前状态，利用Q学习算法实现状态-动作的建立及更新，以此学习面向目标运行的导航知识；然后，在认知图构建中，利用重心估计原理对空间探索得到的知识进行处理，生成各位置细胞状态下面向目标的方向信息；最后，运行体在朝目标的运行中，根据得到的认知图实时控制运行方向，以此实现GO导航。仿真结果表明，该GO模型有效，运行体进行充分的空间探索可生成认知图，并以此实现GO导航，且在运行过程中能有效规避障碍物。

Biological Inspired Goal-oriented Navigation Model Based on Spatial Exploration and Construction of Cognitive Map

To realize the generation of the navigation knowledge and the running control driven by goal for the intelligent and autonomous vehicle, a biological inspired Goal-Oriented (GO) navigation model based on spatial exploration and construction of cognitive map is discussed in this paper. This model is made up of three parts, including spatial exploration, construction of cognitive map and control of goal-oriented navigation. During spatial exploration, the model from Grid Cells (GCs) to Place Cells (PCs) and visual place cells’ model are fused to represent current state, and Q-learning algorithm is used to build and update the state-action. As a result, the goal-oriented navigation knowledge is learned. Then, during the construction of cognitive map, the gravity center estimation principle is used to deal with the obtained spatial exploration knowledge, which can produce the direction information corresponding to the different place cells’ state. Finally, during goal-oriented navigation process, the vehicle controls its running direction based on the cognitive map. Therefore, the goal-oriented navigation can be realized. Simulation validates that this model is available. The vehicle can construct cognitive map after sufficient spatial exploration and realizes goal-oriented navigation based on the cognitive map. Besides, the vehicle can effectively avoid obstacles during running.
