社会协调研究的自主体现代理人的声学相互作用的模拟模型。有关社会行为的理论概念，从系统的角度来看，他们的有用性进行评估，在解释所获得的结果。在非结构化竞技场中移动的两个智能体必须彼此定位，并且使用嘈杂的连续声学交互尽可能长时间地保持在彼此的短距离内。进化的动态递归神经网络被用作控制架构。声耦合提出了非平凡的问题点燃区分“自我”从“非自我”和结构化的信号产生的时间，以尽量减少干扰。对最频繁进化的行为策略的详细观察表明，相互作用的代理执行有节奏的信号，导致运动的协调。在协调过程中，信号被夹带在一个反相模式，类似于轮流。扰动技术表明，信号行为不仅执行外部功能，但它也被集成到生产代理的运动，从而显示出将行为分为社会和非社会类的困难。代理之间的结构一致性所示，通过探索内部动态以及在信号信标的存在下，再现的相互作用的代理的信号模式的单个代理的响应。缺乏夹带与信号产生的信标显示的重要性，瞬态期间的相互动态扰动，其中代理实现一致性。
Social coordination is studied in a simulated model of autonomous embodied agents that interact acoustically. Theoretical concepts concerning social behavior are presented from a systemic perspective and their usefulness is evaluated in interpreting the results obtained. Two agents moving in an unstructured arena must locate each other, and remain within a short distance of one another for as long as possible using noisy continuous acoustic interaction. Evolved dynamical recurrent neural networks are used as the control architecture. Acoustic coupling poses nontrivial problems lit discriminating 'self' from 'non-self' and structuring production of signals in time so as to minimize interference. Detailed observation of the most frequently evolved behavioral strategy shows that interacting agents perform rhythmic signals leading to the coordination of movement. During coordination, signals become entrained in an anti-phase mode that resembles turn-taking. Perturbation techniques show that signalling behavior not only performs an external function, but it is also integrated into the movement of the producing agent, thus showing the difficulty of separating behavior into social and non-social classes. Structural congruence between agents is shown by exploring internal dynamics as well as the response of single agents in the presence of signalling beacons that reproduce the signal patterns of the interacting agents. Lack of entrainment with the signals produced by the beacons shows the importance of transient periods of mutual dynamic perturbation wherein agents achieve congruence.
