چکیده
‘Pigs and people’ is a simulated environment, in which action selection mechanisms can be evaluated and compared. Action selection mechanisms attempt to solve the action selection problem faced by both animals and robots: the problem of selecting which actions to perform in order to achieve heterogeneous and possibly conflicting goals. In this project, two action selection mechanisms are implemented: the non-learning drives mechanism, and W-learning. The non-learning mechanism considerably outperforms the learning mechanism. The results achieved by the two mechanisms are compared and analysed in an attempt to explain the difference in performance.
