Abstract

In this paper we describe a model of cooperation in evolutionary robotics (ER) derived by animal research on Corvids. In recent years many researchers have proposed models of ER which are bio-inspired. The main source of inspiration has come from social insects, such as ants. Inspiration may come also from other representatives in the animal kingdom such as primates or corvids, thus producing different models that can address different issues. The work presented here starts from works inspired by social insects and then describes an ER model inspired by tasks in corvids, that addresses the evolution of cooperation, showing how different bio-inspired models can be useful to study different issues.
