چکیده

This paper introduces a hormone-inspired task assignment system for a group of robots. The system draws on previous work using endocrinebased methodologies, extending them to a group scenario, and incorporating previous work in evolutionary robotics. In the resulting system, performance data generated as part of the lifelong-adaptation functionality is reported between the robots, and used to autonomously re-assign tasks based on current conditions. The system is found to work well, although it is (as yet) more sensitive to small changes in the environment than required.
