We report on a case study in the emergence of a lexicon in a group of autonomous distributed agents situated and grounded in an open environment. Because the agents are autonomous,...
One important implication of embodiment is that, by acting, agents partially determine the sensory patterns they receive from the environment. The motor actions performed by an age...
In 1961, Herrnstein [4] famously observed that many animals match the frequency of their response to different stimuli in proportion to the reinforcement obtained from each stimul...
In this paper we describe our attempt to create a nature-like simulation model of artificial creatures. The model includes physical simulation of creatures, their interaction with ...
In this paper, we present a possible implementation of arithmetic functions (notably, addition and multiplication) using self-replicating cellular automata. The operations are per...
