Origins of Communication in Evolving Robots

چکیده
In this paper we describe how a population of simulated robots evolved for the ability to solve a collective navigation problem develop individual and social/communication skills. In particular, we analyze the evolutionary origins of motor and signaling behaviors. Obtained results indicate that signals and the meaning of the signals produced by evolved robots are grounded not only on the robots sensory-motor system but also on robots’ behavioral capabilities previously acquired. Moreover, the analysis of the co-evolution of robots individual and communicative abilities indicate how innovation in the former might create the adaptive basis for further innovations in the latter and vice versa.

متن کاملEvolving grounded communication for robots.
The computational and robotic synthesis of language evolution is emerging as a new exciting field of research. The objective is to come up with precise operational models of how communities of agents, equipped with a cognitive apparatus, a sensori-motor system, and a body, can arrive at shared grounded communication systems. Such systems may have similar characteristics to animal communication ...
متن کاملSelf-Organization of Communication in Evolving Robots
In this paper we present the results of an experiment in which a collection of simulated robots that are evolved for the ability to solve a collective navigation problem develop a communication system that allow them to better cooperate. The analysis of the obtained results indicates how evolving robots develop a non-trivial communication system and exploit different communication modalities.
متن کاملEvolving Communication in Robotic Swarms Using On-Line, On-Board, Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms
Robotic swarms offer flexibility, robustness, and scalability. For successful operation they need appropriate communication strategies that should be dynamically adaptable to possibly changing environmental requirements. In this paper we try to achieve this through evolving communication on-the-fly. As a test case we use a scenario where robots need to cooperate to gather energy and the necessi...
متن کاملEmergence of communication and language in evolving robots
Modeling the evolution of communication and language is one of the most fascinating and challenging problems in science. Progressing toward this ambitious goal implies explaining how simple communication forms emerged in the first place and how they evolved into structured communication systems with the characteristics of human language. In this chapter, we will illustrate how communication sys...
