In this study, we propose a predictive model composed of a recurrent neural network including parametric bias and stochastic elements, and an environmentally adaptive robot control method including variance minimization using the model. Robots which have flexible bodies or whose states can only be partially observed are difficult to modelize, and their predictive models often have stochastic behav...
