Perception control

We construct and examine a control system with a process called "perception " that selects and completes information received from the system to be con trolled. Through a number of basic control tasks, the suggested "perception " paradigm is shown valuable when parts of the information from the system being controlled sometimes are missing. Reinforcement learning is used to c hoose the appropriate control action from the formed perception. (C) 2001 E lsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
