Description
This SBIR Phase I project will develop biologically inspired meta-heuristic algorithms for decentralized management of the emergent behavior of interacting autonomous agents operating in dynamic and challenging environments with constraints on resources, and presence of competitors and adversaries. Based on the evolutionary game-theoretic framework, we propose to use the observations from experiments and modeling of collective behaviors in ant colonies to learning meta-heuristics for our artificial agents with the goals to mimic the adaptation of biological systems to changes in environment and other factors for control of emergent behavior, and ensuring convergence of the learning-based game system.
