Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of an experiment in which a collection of simulated robots that have been evolved for the ability to solve a collective navigation problem develop a communication system that allows them to co-operate better. The analysis of the results obtained indicates how evolving robots develop a non-trivial communication system and exploit different communication modalities. The results also indicate how the possibility of co-adapting the robots' individual and social/communicative behaviour plays a key role in the development of progressively more complex and effective individuals.
