About this paper
Fernando Montes-Gonzalez
The authors test whether robots evolve useful communication while searching for hidden food in simulation. Two robots receive no reward for signaling; a one-bit signal conveys direction and strength, and evolution can associate it with food. A compass makes signaling disappear. In the larger arena, referential-signal and no-signal champions score 0.551 and 0.387 across 100 episodes; this comparison comes from one run per strategy.
