Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed a framework for emergence and evolution of acoustic communication in the population of virtual creatures that can make sounds in a 3D physically simulated environment, aiming at understanding emergence of novel individual relationships and its application to understand ecological interactions and engineering. The experiments with several settings showed that the framework enables us to discuss the evolution of collective behaviors, exaptation, and acoustic niche separation, originating from an inevitable noise generated by behaviors of embodied agents. We also developed a framework for observing vocal interactions among songbirds in fields using a robot audition software HARK, and observed their behavioral patterns quantitatively.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

仮想物理空間上の生物の体と動きを同時に進化させる手法が,リーダとフォロワー,群れ行動,音声の周波数領域の棲み分けなど,音を介した個体間関係が創発する過程の議論に役立つことが示された.これは,相互作用するロボット集団設計などの工学的観点や,同時に開発したロボット聴覚技術に基づくシステムによって観測する鳥類の鳴き声相互作用などの実生態との比較に基づく理解からも重要であるといえる.
