Abstract(in English) Applying a learning method, such as reinforcement learning, to learning motions of multi-link robots requires large cost, such as damage from falling down. To overcome this problem, we proposed a reusing mechanism for reinforcement learning where the avoidance actions, such as not to fall down, are learned separately from primary actions, then they are reused in learning new tasks [1]. A method to apply it to learning whole-body motions of 4-link robot whose base is not fixed to a ground was also developed. In this paper, we propose a new method to modify basis functions of a function approximator of an action value function to improve the separative performance, and demonstrate the method works effectively in learning whole-body motions of a multi-link robot. Furthermore, we investigate a learning cost of damage from falling down in learning whole-body motions is reduced by reusing avoidance actions.
