In this paper, a novel approach of genetic algorithm based robust learning credit assignment cerebellar model articulation controller (GCA-CMAC) is proposed. The cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) is a neurological model, which has an attractive property of learning speed. However, the distributions of errors into the addressed hypercubes of CMAC are not proportional to their credibility and may cause unacceptable learning performance. The credit assignment CMAC (CA-CMAC) can solve this problem by using the creditability of hypercubes that the calculated errors are assigned proportional to the inverse of learning times. Afterward, the obtained learning times can be optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) to increase its accuracy. In this paper, the proposed algorithm is to combine credit assignment ideas and GA to provide accurate learning for CMAC. Moreover, we embed the robust learning approach into the GCA-CMAC and dynamically adjust the learning constant for training data with noise or outliers. From simulation results, it shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms other CMACs.
