Abstract: Most operant conditioning circuits predominantly focus on simple feedback process, few studies consider the intricacies of feedback outcomes and the uncertainty of feedback time. This paper ...

Abstract: Aiming at the movement balance problem of the two-wheeled robot, the operant conditioning theory of artificial cerebellar sensorimotor systems is used, and the theory adopts a learning ...
