Abstract. We propose an integrated technique of genetic programming (GP) and reinforcement learning (RL) that allows a real robot to execute real-time learning. Our technique does not need a precise simulator because learning is done with a real robot. Moreover, our technique makes it possible to learn optimal actions in real robots. We show the result of an experiment with a real robot AIBO and represents the result which proves proposed technique performs better than traditional Q-learning method.
