Grounding adaptive language games in robotic agents

Trabajo presentado a la 4th European Conference on Artificial Life, celebrada en Cambridge, Massachusetts (US).The paper addresses the question how a group of physically embodied robotic agents may originate meaning and language through adaptive language games. The main principles underlying the approach are sketched as well as the steps needed to implement these principles on physical agents. Some experimental results based on this implementation are presented.The experiments reported in this paper were conducted at the VUB AI Laboratory. Their contributions are supported by the Belgian government through an IUAP project (1990-1996).Peer reviewe
