A cellular mechanism for multi-robot construction via evolutionary multi-objective optimization of a gene regulatory network
چکیده انگلیسی

A major research challenge of multi-robot systems is to predict the emerging behaviors from the local interactions of the individual agents. Biological systems can generate robust and complex behaviors through relatively simple local interactions in a world characterized by rapid changes, high uncertainty, infinite richness, and limited availability of information. Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) play a central role in understanding natural evolution and development of biological organisms from cells. In this paper, inspired by biological organisms, we propose a distributed GRN-based algorithm for a multi-robot construction task. Through this algorithm, multiple robots can self-organize autonomously into different predefined shapes, and self-reorganize adaptively under dynamic environments. This developmental process is evolved using a multi-objective optimization algorithm to achieve a shorter travel distance and less convergence time. Furthermore, a theoretical proof of the system's convergence is also provided. Various case studies have been conducted in the simulation, and the results show the efficiency and convergence of the proposed method.
