چکیده

In this paper, we aim to design decision-making mechanisms for a simulated Khepera robot equipped with simple sensors, which integrates over time its perceptual experience in order to initiate a simple signalling response. Contrary to other previous similar studies, in this work the decision-making is uniquely controlled by the time-dependent structures of the agent controller, which in turn are tightly linked to the mechanisms for sensorimotor coordination. The results of this work show that a single dynamic neural network, shaped by evolution, makes an autonomous agent capable of ‘feeling’ time through the flow of sensations determined by its actions. Further analysis of the evolved solutions reveals the nature of the selective pressures that facilitate the evolution of fully discriminating and signalling agents. Moreover, we show that, by simply working on the nature of the fitness function, it is possible to bring forth discrimination mechanisms that generalize to conditions never encountered during evolution.

A New Approach for Determination of Break Points for Protection Co-Ordination

Interconnected power system networks are multi loop structured. Settings determination of all over current and distance relays in such networks can be in different forms and complicated. The main problem is the determination of starting points i.e. the location of starting relays in the procedure for settings, which is referred to as break points. In this paper, a new approach based on graph th...

The Study of social policy in the field of Higher Education & Employment and its Outcomes (A case study of Shahid Beheshti University)

Social Policy is the government decisions on distribution of resources and facilities for achieving a certain goal in a particular period of time. These decisions are aimed at increasing the society members’ well-being and/or solving a social problem. Harmony in section and inter-section policy making provides social order which is necessary as the basis for achieving the social system objectiv...

A constructive model for the development of joint attention

This paper presents a constructive model by which a robot acquires the ability of joint attention with a human caregiver based on its embedded mechanisms of visual attention and learning with self-evaluation. The former is to look at a salient object in the robot’s view, and the latter is to learn sensorimotor co-ordination when visual attention has succeeded. Since the success of visual attent...
