However, coordination and self-organization of a large number of individuals is often costly in terms of energy and computation power, thus limiting the longevity of the distributed system. In this paper we present a bio-inspired algorithm enabling a robotic swarm to collectively detect anomalies in environmental parameters in a self-organized, reliable and energy efficient manner. Individuals in the swarm communicate via 1-bit signals to collectively confirm the detection of an anomaly while minimizing energy spent for communication and taking measurements. This algorithm is specifically designed for a swarm of underwater robots called “aMussels” to examine a phenomenon referred to as “anoxia” which results in oxygen depletion in the lagoon of Venice. We present the algorithm, conduct simulations and robotic experiments to examine the performance of the algorithm with respect to early detection of anoxia while minimizing energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":268637,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Life Conference Proceedings","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115634800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Artificial Life finds particular use in simulating large, complex systems such as large scale ecosystems or social networks, where the interaction between system entities may give rise to emergent behaviours. Despite the increasing popularity and ubiquitous nature of complex systems, the extent of which artificial life approaches are considered in complex systems modelling and their application across complex systems domains is still unclear. To better understand the overlap between artificial life and complex systems, we conducted a systematic literature review of last decade’s artificial life research that had a complex system focus. We performed an automated search of all relevant databases and identified 538 initial papers, with 194 in the candidate set, resulting in 115 primary studies. Our results show that the three most frequent application domains are simulation, followed by social modelling, and biological modelling. We find a plethora of paradigms that can be broadly classified into three main categories, namely, biological, social, and hybrid. We identify the artificial life paradigms that are used to generate the most common complex systems properties as well as a number of research challenges that are critical for the growth of both artificial life and complex systems modelling.","PeriodicalId":268637,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Life Conference Proceedings","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115192840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Life-like behaviors such as fission, fusion and movement can be artificially recreated exploiting highly simplified chemical systems. Recently we showed that droplet-based chemotactic systems can be interfaced with biological systems (1). We developed a chemotactic droplet able to move light cargos such as hydrogel alginate capsules embedded with living cells as a transporter. We transported efficiently and in a sterile way a few types of bacteria and yeast, and we are now modifying our protocols to transport efficiently human cell lines. We recently discovered that some eukaryotic cell lines release surfactants when placed in our artificial transport system, thereby reinforcing the interface between the artificial and living systems. This is an example of not only how the interface between artificial life and biological life could be designed but how the one system can augment the other. In this case the living system produces the surfactants that the droplet needs for cargo transport and the artificial system provides the transport for the otherwise sessile mammalian cells.","PeriodicalId":268637,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Life Conference Proceedings","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115353619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hintze","doi":"10.1162/isal_a_00198","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00198","url":null,"abstract":"Natural environments are full of ambient noise; nevertheless, natural cognitive systems deal greatly with uncertainty but also have ways to suppress or ignore noise unrelated to the task at hand. For most intelligent tasks, experiences and observations have to be committed to memory and these representations of reality inform future decisions. We know that deep learned artificial neural networks (ANNs) often struggle with the formation of representations. This struggle may be due to the ANN’s fully interconnected, layered architecture. This forces information to be propagated over the entire system, which is different from natural brains that instead have sparsely distributed representations. Here we show how ambient noise causes neural substrates such as recurrent ANNs and long short-term memory neural networks to evolve more representations in order to function in these noisy environments, which also greatly improves their functionality. However, these systems also tend to further smear their representations over their internal states making them more vulnerable to internal noise. We also show that Markov Brains (MBs) are mostly unaffected by ambient noise, and their representations remain sparsely distributed (i.e. not smeared). This suggests that ambient noise helps to increase the amount of representations formed in neural networks, but also requires us to find additional solutions to prevent smearing of said representations.","PeriodicalId":268637,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Life Conference Proceedings","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128180646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
