Neuro-evolution for a gathering and collective construction task
In this paper we apply three Neuro-Evolution (NE) methods as controller design approaches in a collective behavior task. These NE methods are Enforced Sub-Populations, MultiAgent Enforced Sub-Populations, and Collective Neuro- Evolution. In the collective behavior task, teams of simulated robots search an unexplored area for objects that are to be used in a collective construction task. Results indicate that the Collective Neuro-Evolution method, a cooperative co-evolutionary approach that allows for regulated recombination between genotype populations is appropriate for deriving artificial neural network controllers in a set of increasingly difficult collective behavior task scenarios.
