Abstract

Communication in multi-agent systems is an efficient way for solving cooperative tasks. Self-organizing communication help us understand the origin of the language and also it reduces designing time. In this paper, the effect of self-organizing communication in a foraging problem is studied. In our simulations a set of mobile robots which have to approach the food, construct a communication protocol to solve their task more efficiently. The effect of communication and individual perception on the performance of the team is analyzed.
