The Evolutionary Origins of Modularity
Posted on January 31, 2013 |By simulating 25,000 generations of evolution within computers, Cornell University engineering and robotics researchers have discovered why biological networks tend to be organized as modules — a finding that will lead to a deeper understanding of the evolution of complexity. The new insight also will... -
Evolution/Emergence Challenges
Posted on October 8, 2012 |1. How to manage the relationship between individual and group levels? Carlo Pinciroli 2. How robot controllers (mind) and mechanical parts (body) can co-evolve? Evert Haasdijk 3. How to engineer the system to produce the correct emergent behavior? Christopher Hollander 4. Systems that exhibit self-awareness... -

Collective Perception in a Robot Swarm by T. Schmickl et. al
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4433 (2007), 144-157. http://zool33.uni-graz.at/artlife/node/27 This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. The “collective perception” is at the base of the awareness of a group of entities. Moreover, a collective action requires the awareness of the other participants in a... -
On Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence by J. Timmis et al.
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Swarm Intelligence 4:247-273. DOI: 10.1007/s11721-010-0045-5 http://www.springerlink.com/content/ph870321605504m4/ This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence represent two interesting paradigms in the area of Awareness. This paper points out the common aspects of them but also their complementarity, which can be...
