The value of information and the emergence of communication in evolved e-puck robots
We study when communication emerges between autonomous agents and what role an innate action selection architecture plays.
ProofPaper ↗
Key points
- Two e-puck robots, reconstructed in PyBullet from their Webots model and validated against it, must find a feeding zone that can only be detected when a robot passes over it.
- Each robot can emit a one-bit signal whose direction is detected by the receiver.
- In contrast, evolving directly in the large arena does not increase the frequency of communication, but it does separate the strategies, and the referential signal clearly outperforms solitary searching.
- Within EASA, innate reflexes constrain the network and reduce performance.
