Multi-Objectivity for Brain-Behavior Evolution of a Physically-Embodied Organism
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a pareto multi–objective approach for evolving the behavior and brain (an artificial neural network (ANN)) of embodied artificial creatures. We will attempt to simultaneously minimize the network size while maximizing horizontal locomotion. A variety of network sizes and behaviors were generated by the pareto approach. The best networks exhibited a higher level of sensory-motor coordination and the creature was able to maintain the walking behavior under different environmental setups.

Social life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
متن کاملMulti-objectivity as a Tool for Constructing Hierarchical Complexity
This paper presents a novel perspective to the use of multiobjective optimization and in particular evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) as a measure of complexity. We show that the partial order feature that is being inherited in the Pareto concept exhibits characteristics which are suitable for studying and measuring the complexities of embodied organisms. We also show that multi-o...
متن کاملPhysical Scaffolding Accelerates the Evolution of Robot Behavior
In some evolutionary robotics experiments, evolved robots are transferred from simulation to reality, while sensor/motor data flows back from reality to improve the next transferral. We envision a generalization of this approach: a simulation-to-reality pipeline. In this pipeline, increasingly embodied agents flow up through a sequence of increasingly physically realistic simulators, while data...
متن کاملEvolved Electrophysiological Soft Robots
The embodied cognition paradigm emphasizes that both bodies and brains combine to produce complex behaviors, in contrast to the traditional view that the only seat of intelligence is the brain. Despite recent excitement about embodied cognition, brains and bodies remain thought of, and implemented as, two separate entities that merely interface with one another to carry out their respective rol...
متن کاملA Activity Recognition for Dynamic Multi-agent Teams
This article addresses the problem of activity recognition for dynamic, physically-embodied agent teams. We define team activity recognition as the process of identifying team behaviors from traces of agent positions over time; for many physical domains, military or athletic, coordinated team behaviors create distinctive spatio-temporal patterns that can be used to identify low-level action seq...
