A method and system for intelligent control of external devices using a mammalian brain-like structure having three parts. The method and system include a computer-implemented neural network system which is an extension of the model-based adaptive critic design and is applicable to real-time control (e.g., robotic control) and real-time distributed control. Additional uses include data visualization, data mining, and other tasks requiring complex analysis of inter-relationships between data.

[ I claim:] [1.] A computer program product, comprising:a computer storage medium and a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a computer to control an external device, the computer program code mechanism comprising:a first computer code device configured

[ I claim:] [1.] A computer program product, comprising:a computer storage medium and a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a computer to control an external device, the computer program code mechanism comprising:a first computer code device configured to initially establish a neural network including nodes, connections and connection weights;a second computer code device configured to train the neural network; anda third computer code device configured to use multi-level adaptive, dynamic programming to receive inputs and produce outputs based on the trained neural network, wherein each level, i, in the multi-level adaptive, dynamic programming, updates (1) a value function J.sup.(i), and (2) a transition matrix, M.sub.j, applicable to said level, wherein J.sup.(i) depends upon a corresponding value function J.sup.(i) and transition matrix M.sub.j of an adjacent level, wherein the transition matrix M.sub.i depends on the corresponding transition matrix M.sub.j, wherein increasing levels correspond to increasing periods of time, and wherein at least two levels are used, said outputs being calculated to maximize said value function J.sup.(i) and control said external device.
