Discovering Sensorimotor Agency in Cellular Automata using Diversity Search

no code implementations14 Feb 2024 Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan, Clément Moulin-Frier, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

The research field of Artificial Life studies how life-like phenomena such as autopoiesis, agency, or self-regulation can self-organize in computer simulations.

Meta-Diversity Search in Complex Systems, A Recipe for Artificial Open-Endedness ?

no code implementations1 Dec 2023 Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan, Clément Moulin-Frier, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

Holmes incrementally learns a hierarchy of modular representations to characterize divergent sources of diversity and uses a goal-based intrinsically-motivated exploration as the diversity search strategy.

Towards Large-Scale Simulations of Open-Ended Evolution in Continuous Cellular Automata

no code implementations12 Apr 2023 Bert Wang-Chak Chan

Inspired by biological and cultural evolution, there have been many attempts to explore and elucidate the necessary conditions for open-endedness in artificial intelligence and artificial life.

Flow-Lenia: Towards open-ended evolution in cellular automata through mass conservation and parameter localization

1 code implementation14 Dec 2022 Erwan Plantec, Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, Clément Moulin-Frier, Bert Wang-Chak Chan

Finally, we show that Flow Lenia enables the integration of the parameters of the CA update rules within the CA dynamics, making them dynamic and localized, allowing for multi-species simulations, with locally coherent update rules that define properties of the emerging creatures, and that can be mixed with neighbouring rules.

Lenia - Biology of Artificial Life

2 code implementations13 Dec 2018 Bert Wang-Chak Chan

We report a new system of artificial life called Lenia (from Latin lenis "smooth"), a two-dimensional cellular automaton with continuous space-time-state and generalized local rule.
