In this thesis, behavior learning and generation models are proposed for simple and complex behaviors of robots using unsupervised learning methods. Simple behaviors are modeled by simple-behavior learning model (SBLM) and complex behaviors are modeled by complex-behavior learning model (CBLM) which uses previously learned simple or complex behaviors. Both models have common phases named behavior categorization, behavior modeling, and behavior generation. Sensory data are categorized using correlation based adaptive resonance theory network that generates motion primitives corresponding to robot's base abilities in the categorization phase. In the modeling phase, Behavior-HMM, a modified version of hidden Markov model, is used to model the relationships among the motion primitives in a finite state stochastic network. In addition, a motion generator which is an artificial neural network is trained for each motion primitive to learn essential robot motor commands. In the generation phase, desired task is presented as a target observation and the model generates corresponding motion primitive sequence. Then, these motion primitives are executed successively by the motion generators which are specifically trained for the corresponding motion primitives.The models are not proposed for one specific behavior, but are intended to be bases for all behaviors. CBLM enhances learning capabilities by integrating previously learned behaviors hierarchically. Hence, new behaviors can take advantage of already discovered behaviors. The proposed models are tested on a robot simulator and the experiments showed that simple and complex-behavior learning models can generate requested behaviors effectively. Bu tez kapsamında, basit ve karmaşık robot davranışlarını gözetmen ihtiyacı duymayan yöntemlerle ögrenen ve tekrarlayabilen davranış modelleri tasarlandı. Basit davranışlar basit-davranış ögrenme modeli (SBLM) ile karmaşık davranışlar ise daha önce ögrenilen basit ve karmaşık davranışları kullanabilen karmaşık-davranış ögrenme modeli (CBLM) ile modellendi. Her iki model de davranış sınıflan-dırma, davranış modelleme ve davranış üretme aşamalarından oluşmaktadır. Sınıflandırma aşamasında algılayıcılardan elde edilen veriler robotun temel yeteneklerine karşılık gelen temel hareketleri elde etmek amacıyla ilinti temelli uyarlanır rezonans kuramı kullanılarak sınıflandırılır. Modelleme aşama-sında, saklı Markov modelinin degiştirilmiş birşekli olan davranış-HMM kullanılarak temel hareketler arasındaki ilişki sonlu durumlu olasılıksal ag biçiminde modellenir. Davranış modeline ilaveten robot motor komutlarını ögrenmek amacıyla her bir temel davranış için yapay sinir aglarını kullanan bir hareket üretici egitilir. Davranış üretme aşamasın...
