Neuro-Evolution Methods for Gathering and Collective Construction
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper evaluates the Collective Neuro-Evolution (CONE) method, comparative to a related controller design method, in a simulated multi-robot system. CONE solves collective behavior tasks, and increases task performance via facilitating behavioral specialization. Emergent specialization is guided by genotype and behavioral specialization di erence metrics that regulate genotype recombination. CONE is comparatively evaluated with a similar Neuro-Evolution (NE) method in a Gathering and Collective Construction (GACC) task. This task requires a multi-robot system to gather objects of various types and then cooperatively build a structure from the gathered objects. This collective behavior task requires that robots adopt complementary and specialized behaviors in order to solve. Results indicate that CONE is appropriate for evolving collective behaviors for the GACC task, given that this task requires behavioral specialization.

Behavioral Heterogeneity and Collective Construction
This paper evaluates two Neuro-Evolution (NE) methods to adapt controllers in simulated robot teams. The first method evolves controllers with fixed topologies and adapts team size as a function of task complexity. The second method evolves controller topology as a function of task complexity, but keeps team sizes constant. These methods are: Collective NeuroEvolution 2 (CONE-2), and Neuro-Evol...
متن کاملCollective neuro-evolution for evolving specialized sensor resolutions in a multi-rover task
This article presents results from an evaluation of the collective neuro-evolution (CONE) controller design method. CONE solves collective behavior tasks, and increases task performance via facilitating emergent behavioral specialization. Emergent specialization is guided by genotype and behavioral specialization difference metrics that regulate genotype recombination. CONE is comparatively tes...
متن کاملTime Prediction Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Model for Projects in the Construction Industry
This paper presents a prediction model based on a new neuro-fuzzy algorithm for estimating time in construction projects. The output of the proposed prediction model, which is employed based on a locally linear neuro-fuzzy (LLNF) model, is useful for assessing a project status at different time horizons. Being trained by a locally linear model tree (LOLIMOT) learning algorithm, the model is int...
متن کاملEvolving Collective Driving Behaviors
Recently there has been increased research interest in developing autonomous, adaptive control systems of self-driving vehicles. However, there has been little work on synthesizing collective behaviours for autonomous vehicles that must safely interact and coordinate so as traffic throughput on any given road network is maximized. This work uses neuro-evolution to automate car controller design...
متن کاملEvolving behavioral specialization in robot teams to solve a collective construction task
This article comparatively tests three cooperative co-evolution methods for automated controller design in simulated robot teams. Collective NeuroEvolution (CONE) co-evolves multiple robot controllers using emergent behavioral specialization in order to increase collective behavior task performance. CONE is comparatively evaluated with two related controller design methods in a collective const...
