Imitation based mullti agent system
Résumé
This paper presents the experimental results on group dynamics raised in a population of animats generated by the introduction of a learning by imitation mechanism. Our interests consist in validating our animat architecture, discovering the emerging dynamics at the population (or social) level, and trying to understand the implication of such dynamics. Ultimately, we would like to know if some dynamic introduced by a simple imitating behaviour based on Maslow theory could illustrate more complex phenomena that of the classical imitation mechanism.
