Emergent Evolution of Behavior Arbitration System Based on the Immune System

Abstract

In the behavior-based artificial intelligence (AI) approach, there are the following problems that have to be resolved: (1) how do we construct an appropriate arbitration mechanism? and (2) how do we prepare appropriate repertoire of competence modules (i.e. behavior primitives)? To overcome these we have been investigating a new behavior arbitration mechanism by paying close attention to the biological immune system and its adaptation mechanisms. In this paper, we introduce two types of innovation mechanisms in order to construct an appropriate immune network without human intervention.
