Abstract

The development of an effective central model of action selection has already been reviewed in previous work. The central model has been set to resolve a foraging task with the use of heterogeneous behavioral modules. In contrast to collecting/depositing modules that have been hand-coded, modules related to exploring follow an evolutionary approach. However, in this paper we focus on the use of genetic algorithms for evolving the weights related to calculating the urgency for a behavior to be selected. Therefore, we aim to reduce the number of decisions made by a human designer when developing the neural substratum of a central selection mechanism.
