Efficient hierarchical architectures for reconfigurable and adaptive multi-agent networks require dynamic cluster formation among the set of nodes (agents). In the absence of cen...
Abstract. Is it possible to create a simple physical system that is capable of replicating itself? Can such a system evolve interesting behaviors, thus allowing it to adapt to a wi...
Abstract. This article presents the first results of a project in underwater modular robotics, called Neubots. The goals of the projects are to explore, following Von Neumann’s ...
The Baldwin Effect indicates that individually learned behaviours acquired during an organism’s lifetime can influence the evolutionary path taken by a population, without any di...
This research investigates an evolutionary approach to engineering agent collectives that accomplish tasks cooperatively. In general, reproduction and selection form the two corner...
