Over the last few years autonomous driving had an increasingly strong impact on the automotive industry. This created an increased need for artificial intelligence algo- rithms which allow for computers to make human-like decisions. However, a compro- mise between the computational power drawn by these algorithms and their subsequent performance must be found to fulfil production requirements. In this thesis incremental deep learning strategies are used for the control of a mobile robot such as a four wheel steering vehicle. This strategy is similar to the human approach of learning. In many small steps the vehicle learns to achieve a specific goal. The usage of incremental training leads to growing knowledge-base within the system. It also provides the opportunity to use older training achievements to improve the system, when more training data is available. To demonstrate the capabilit...
