A model for self-adaptation in a robot colony
T V D Kumar, Nandan Parameswaran · 1986
A model for self-adaptation in a colony of robots to changes occurring in the environment is presented. The model employs two levels of computations : one at a metalevel and the other at a lowerlevel. The metalevel computations produce a learning behaviour in the robot which is responsible for the adaptation and those at the low-level control the robot motions. Inductive learning is employed as the learning strategy. An instance of the 'Producer-Consumer' problem is presented in this context.
