Autonomy is inseparable from choice. Natural agents, including humans, make choices with probabilities that are proportional to the average reward from each choice (the ‘matching law’), rather than always choosing the alternative with maximum reward. Imbuing artificial agents with this flexibility is non-trivial. We introduce anti-competition mapping to overcome the tendency for high reward cho...

This chapter introduces the scope of book—bioMIMETICS can be described as an innovative form technology that imitates (or mimics) nature in order to improve human lives via creating desirable solutions. It is study and natural phenomena, principles, underlying mechanisms, obtain bio-inspired may benefit various applied scientific technological disciplines. Smart/Intelligent nano-bioMaterials fo...
