Symbolic Communication in Artificial Creatures: An Experiment in Artificial Life
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a project on Artificial Life where we simulate an ecosystem that allows cooperative interaction between agents, including intra-specific predatorwarning communication in a virtual environment of predatory events. We propose, based on Peircean semiotics and informed by neuroethological constraints, an experiment to simulate the emergence of symbolic communication among artificial creatures. Here we describe the simulation environment and the creatures’ control architectures, and briefly present obtained results.

Cognitive conditions to the emergence of sign interpretation in artificial creatures
Although the emergence of communication has been the topic of various Artificial Life experiments, the study of underlying representational processes finds little discussion. We have previously differentiated between symbolic and indexical interpretation and proposed that symbolic interpretation may act as a shortcut to cognitive traits already acquired. Here we evaluate conditions of this acqu...
متن کاملEmergence of self-organized symbol-based communication in artificial creatures
In this paper, we describe a digital scenario where we simulated the emergence of self-organized symbol-based communication among artificial creatures inhabiting a virtual world of unpredictable predatory events. In our experiment, creatures are autonomous agents that learn symbolic relations in an unsupervised manner, with no explicit feedback, and are able to engage in dynamical and autonomou...
متن کاملNeuro-ACT Cognitive Architecture Applications in Modeling Driver’s Steering Behavior in Turns
Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...
متن کاملInteraction Modeling with Artificial Life Agents
In this work, an interaction model between artificial life agents (creatures) is proposed, which allows studying emergent social behavior of agents. This model describes the environment of artificial life and autonomous creatures in terms of goal-states, rules of behavior based on agents’ goals and actions, initial knowledge and the use of communication instructions. For the case of study, the ...
متن کاملSynthetic approach of symbolic creatures
We propose, based on the Peircean semiotics and inspired by an ethological case, a methodology to simulate the emergence of symbolic predator-warning communication among artificial creatures in a virtual world of predatory events. In order to build a digital ecosystem, and infer the minimum organizational constraints for the design of our creatures, we examined the well-studied case of semiosis...
