Reinforcement learning is an excellent approach which is used in artificial intelligence,automatic control, etc. However, ordinary reinforcement learning algorithm, such as Q-learning with lookup table cannot cope with extremely complex and dynamic environment due to the huge state space. To reduce the state space, modular neural network Q-learning algorithm is proposed, which combines Q-learning algorithm with neural network and module method. Forward feedback neural network, Elman neural network and radius-basis neural network are separately employed to construct such algorithm. It is revealed that Elman neural network Q-learning algorithm has the best performance under the condition that the same neural network training method, i.e. gradient descent error back-propagation algorithm is applied.
