Abstract

We investigate the possibility of observing cooperative behavior in simple, autonomous, and non-communicating robotic agents when performing a harvesting task in a multi-agent environment. We evaluate a method to enforce a reflex-like territorial behavior in order to optimize individual and collective utilities.
