The Role of Behavioral Extinction in Animat Action Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
Behavioral Extinction is a long established experimental procedure in animal learning studies that discover what happens when Action Selection fails. This paper integrates the results of these studies into the existing Dynamic Expectancy Model, and considers the impact this has on the Action Selection and learning properties of that model. A series of experimental investigations is presented to illustrate how the behavioral extinction mechanism can be combined with existing properties of the model to protect the Animat from harm in circumstances where Action Selection would otherwise fail.

Classifier Systems as 'animat' Architectures for Action Selection in Mmorpg
Classifier systems (CS) are used as control architectures for simulated animals or robots in order to decide what to do at each time. We will explain why these systems are good candidates for action selection mechanisms of Non Player Characters. After having described different classifier systems, we will introduce a new CS architecture, acting in a multi-agent environment, which is adapted to ...
متن کاملIntegration of Navigation and Action Selection Functionalities in a Computational Model of Cortico-Basal-Ganglia-Thalamo-Cortical Loops
This article describes a biomimetic control architecture affording an animat both action selection and navigation functionalities. It satisfies the survival constraint of an artificial metabolism and supports several complementary navigation strategies. It builds upon an action selection model based on the basal ganglia of the vertebrate brain, using two interconnected cortico-basal-ganglia–tha...
متن کاملOptimal and Non-Optimal Compromise Strategies in Action Selection
Devising a solution to the action selection problem rests on a definition of which actions are preferable over others. Among many properties suggested for action selection mechanisms, one prominent one is the ability to select compromise actions, i.e. actions that are not the best to satisfy any active goal in isolation, but rather compromise between the multiple goals. This paper performs a ma...

This paper describes several models that incorporate some biomimetic mechanisms into the control architecture of an animat that has to survive in a changing environment The adaptive capacities of these mechanisms are compared to engineering solutions in applica tion domains that involve navigation action selection and evolutionary design It is argued that although impressive adaptive capacities...
متن کاملEvolving Action Selection and Selective AttentionWithout Actions , Attention , or Selection
A minimal animat architecture, consisting only of a set of autonomous, direct, and continuously active sen-sorimotor links, is shown to support a full range ofàction selection' phenomena. A genetic algorithm is used to engineer the activation functions supported by these links. Nòactions' arèselected' in this model, and the use of artiicial evolution means that there is no artiicial separation ...
