Abstract

In this paper we describe how a population of simulated robots evolved for the ability to solve a collective navigation problem develop individual and social/communication skills In particular, we analyze the evolutionary origins of motor and signaling behaviors Obtained results indicate that signals and the meaning of the signals produced by evolved robots are grounded not only on the robots sensory-motor system but also on robots' behavioral capabilities previously acquired Moreover, the analysis of the co-evolution of robots individual and communicative abilities indicate how innovation in the former might create the adaptive basis for further innovations in the latter and vice versa.
