Implementation of an immuno-genetic network on a real Khepera II robot

How simple autonomous decisions evolve into robust behaviours?: A review from neurorobotics, cognitive, self-organized and artificial immune systems fields

“…The final aim was to dote a terrestrial mobile robot prototype with capabilities to navigate safely in unknown environments, programming simple behaviors that coordinated might give rise to emergent more sophisticated behavior. Similar experiment settings were proposed also in Whitbrook (2005); Vargas et al (2003); Ishiguro et al (1996). The task consisted on passing through a gate in a smallsimulated arena (Fig.…”

“…The proposed behavior coordination, based on previous works of Vargas et al (2003); Ishiguro et al (1996) had a dynamic process of decision making defining a network structure of conditions-action-restrictions items. The incoming information provided by each input of a system (i.e., robotic sensors) was considered in as an 'antigen', meanwhile the robot as an 'organism'.…”

“…The incoming information provided by each input of a system (i.e., robotic sensors) was considered in as an 'antigen', meanwhile the robot as an 'organism'. The antigen represented the current state of the environment as proposed in Vargas et al (2003). The robot contained 'antibodies' in a network organization to recognize the antigens and to perform immune responses.…”

Applying particle swarm optimization to a garbage and recycling collection problem

“…Also, we have the work of Vargas et al [17] in which they implement a new Immuno-Genetic Network that takes an evolutionary algorithm and joins it with a continuous immune network model applying it to a Real Khepera II Robot. As can be seen from Figure 2(c), they used the simulation environment with garbage, a base and obstacles.…”

An Immunological Approach to Mobile Robot Navigation

“…Additionally, it shows the advantage of not falling into a local loop. Afterward, Vargas et al (2003) developed an Immuno-Genetic Network for autonomous navigation. The simulations show that the evolved immune network is capable of correctly coordinating the system towards the objective of the navigation task.…”
