Intelligent and Adaptive Animat Resource Trading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trading of resources is an important sociological behaviour that is believed to be indicative of intelligent life forms, but which is non-trivial to model successfully. We have incorporated trading of resources that are critical to the survival of predator agents in a spatial predator-prey animat simulation model. We find that predator agents adapt to trade with one another in the face of extinction and that this leads to successful and stable dynamic equilibria between predators and prey. The spatial mixing properties of agents in our model system shift as a result of the trading patterns. We discuss these emergent phenomena and how they relate to microscopic model parameters and speculate as to how these ideas might be generalised to model trading patterns and markets.

Adaptive Resource Gathering & Trading
Individual animats trading independently can lead to a collective market behavior. Also, animats can be imbued with gathering capabilities, enabling it to survive in a resourcelled environment. We separately develop animats that are capable of trading and resource-gathering, and run experiments to determine the conditions for survivability of the animats. We then imbue all animats with trading ...
متن کاملAnimat Market - Trading Interactions as Collective Social Adaptive Behavior
We argue that human economic interactions, particularly bargaining and trading in market environments, can be considered as collective social adaptive behaviors. Such interactions are social in the sense that they depend on socially-agreed market regulations and communication protocols, and are collective in the sense that global market dynamics depend on the interactions of groups of traders. ...

متن کاملThe Animat Path to Intelligent Adaptive Behavior
The traditional approach to building artificially intelligent systems can be characterized as a topdown methodology: creating large complex systems with massive amounts of knowledge dedicated to solving one particular aspect of supposedly intelligent behavior, such as theorem-proving, or playing chess, or understanding natural language. At some point, it is hoped, all of these separate modules ...
متن کاملNeural Network Models of Adaptive Behavior
The paper characterizes the field of investigations “Simulation of Adaptive Behavior” that is on the border of biology and informatics and studies architectures and informational processes of control systems that govern behavior of both animal and artificial creatures (animats). The project “Animat Brain” (a neural-network-based framework for simulation of adaptive behavior) is described. 1 Sim...
