Numerical analysis and basic algorithm of self-organization of cellular robotics 'CEBOT'

Abstract

The authors propose a novel distributed intelligence system which is based on the concept of a cellular robotic system (CEBOT). This proposed intelligent system has the abilities of learning, reasoning, and self-organizing. This system consists of various kinds of intelligence units called knowledge-cells. By using the knowledge cells and the proposed algorithms, which should be stored in each cell genetically, the system realizes self-organization and self-evolution. In addition to proposing the basic genetic algorithm, the organization of a cell-structured system is numerically analyzed. Some simulations are also shown to demonstrate the self-organizing and self-evolution abilities of the distributed intelligence system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
