Evolution of functional specialization in a morphologically homogeneous robot
A central tenet of embodied artificial intelligence is that intelligent behavior arises out of the coupled dynamics between an agent’s body, brain and environment. It follows t...

Evaluating dynamic protocols for open agent systems
We present a software system for evaluating ‘dynamic’ protocol specifications for open multi-agent systems, that is, specifications that are developed at design-time but may...

Integrating organizational control into multi-agent learning
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms suffer from slow convergence and even divergence, especially in largescale systems. In this work, we develop an organization-b...

Sensitivity analysis for distributed optimization with resource constraints
Previous work in multiagent coordination has addressed the challenge of planning in domains where agents must optimize a global goal, while satisfying local resource constraints. ...

Increasing the expressiveness of virtual agents: autonomous generation of speech and gesture for spatial description tasks
Embodied conversational agents are required to be able to express themselves convincingly and autonomously. Based on an empirial study on spatial descriptions of landmarks in dire...
