چکیده

Some aspects of evolution are, by their very nature, unsuited to a process of direct experimentation. The work described here is a computational system strongly inspired by real ecology, it is intended as a framework within which the interaction of evolution, learning and cultural eeects may be investigated. The design, development and behaviour of the system is outlined in some detail.

Adaptation of Evolutionary Agents in Computational Ecologies

We present a system developed for the application of evolutionary computation techniques to ecological simulation. A model ecosystem comprised of discrete adaptive agents and a biologically inspired environment is described and results presented. The agents are classi-er based animats and the overall system has been derived from real ecologies and interactions.

Solution Based Problem Evolution and Problem Inception in Biologically Inspired Design

Biologically inspired design is one of the most important movements in contemporary engineering design. The paradigm entails the use of biological systems as sources of ideas for the design of technological products. Thus, the paradigm, by definition, is based on cross-domain analogies. The movement is pulled by the growing need for sustainable development and pushed by the desire for creative ...

A Case Study of Developmental Robotics in Understanding “Object Permanence”

In this paper, a biologically inspired computational model is proposed and implemented on a robot to study one of the most fundamental and controversial issues in cognitive science – “Object Permanence.” Because of the world-knowledgefree design and the developmental learning ability of this model, we are able to analyze the robot’s behavior based on its perceptual development through different...

Developmental Learning: A Case Study in Understanding “Object Permanence”

The concepts of muddy environment and muddy tasks set the ground for us to understand the essence of intelligence, both artificial and natural, which further motivates the need of Developmental Learning for machines. In this paper, a biologically inspired computational model is proposed to study one of the fundamental and controversial issues in cognitive science – “Object Permanence.” This mod...

Is Biologically Inspired Invention Different?

The paradigm of biologically inspired design views nature as a vast library of robust, efficient and multifunctional designs, and espouses the use nature as a source of analogues for inspiring novel designs in domains of interest such as architecture, computing, engineering, etc. Over the last generation, biologically inspired design has emerged as a major movement in engineering, architectural...
