This paper presents a neural conditioning model for on-line learning of behaviors on mobile robots. The model is based on
Grossberg's neural model of conditioning as recently implemented by Chang and Gaudiano. It attempts to tackle some of the
limitations of the original model by (1) using a temporal difference of the reinforcement to drive learning, (2) adding eligibility
trace mechanisms to dissociate behavior generation from learning, (3) automatically categorizing sensor readings and (4) bootstrapping
the learning process through the use of unconditioned responses. Preliminary results of the model that learn simple behaviors
on a mobile robot simulator are presented.
