Reinforcement Learning can be seen as a way of programming agents by reward and punishment for solving specific tasks through repeated interactions with the environment. In this work, the performance of the most important reinforcement learning algorithms: Qlearning, Rlearning, H-learning is investigated in the context of a navigation task avoiding obstacles. Furthermore, this work proposes a sensor-based navigation method, named R'-learning, which incorporates fuzzy logic into the Rlearning algorithm for mobile robot navigation in uncertain environment. An application is realized consisting of teaching the robots to find small objects in a corridor. For this, a state set mapping has been proposed through force field concepts. R'learning algorithm has been used for this navigation task. The robot showed to have satisfactory behaviors in performing this task.
