Discovering the Competitors
This paper reports on an experiment testing whether a particular repre sentation of robotic control processes is adequate for capturing signi cant variations in robot behavior These variations can then be explored by a selectionist mechanism that generates and tests variations An ecosystem modeled after a physical robotic ecosystem is introduced The ecosystem contains a robot that occasionally ...
متن کاملVirtual Competitors Influence Rowers
Highly immersive environments for sports simulation can help elucidate if and how athletes perform under high pressure situations. We used a rowing simulator with a CAVE setup to test the influence of virtual competitors on 10 experienced rowers. All participants were using the simulator for the first time. The objective was to assess the degree of presence by quantifying how the actions of the...
متن کاملCapacity Sharing between Competitors*
Market competition may lead to mismatch between supply and demand. That is, overpricing may give rise to underselling, and underpricing may yield stockout. Capacity sharing is a common practice to align excessive capacity with excessive demand. Yet the strategic interaction between competition and capacity sharing has not been adequately addressed. In this paper we investigate optimal strategie...
متن کاملEmergent Coordination among Competitors∗
Crawford and Haller (1990) describe a repeated two-player coordination game defined by the absence of a common language. Coordination is achieved only through path dependent play relying on time consistent labels. We consider a game played by a large population similarly looking to coordinate but without the consistency in labels over time and with asymmetric coordinated payoff so that players ...
متن کاملThe N-effect: more competitors, less competition.
This article introduces the N-effect-the discovery that increasing the number of competitors (N) can decrease competitive motivation. Studies 1a and 1b found evidence that average test scores (e.g., SAT scores) fall as the average number of test takers at test-taking venues increases. Study 2 found that individuals trying to finish an easy quiz among the top 20% in terms of speed finished signi...
