A system and method of teaching a neural network through reinforcement learning methodology. The system includes a machine-readable medium having one or more processors that perform a motion task to produce a first result corresponding to navigating a device during a first episode and performing an interaction task during that same episode. After completion of the first episode a processor calculates a Q value change based on the first task result and the second task result. The processor then modifies parameters based on the Q value change such that during subsequent episode iterations the motion task and interactive task are improved and a smooth and continuous transition occurs between these two tasks.
