Simulation of Sustainable Co-evolving Predator-Prey System Controlled by Neural Network

국문 초록 (Abstract)

인공생명체 연구는 자연 생명과 관련된 시스템이나 그 과정들, 진화 등을 평가해 다양한 응용과학 분야에 활용된다. 이러한 인공생명체의 원활한 활동을 위해 물리적 신체 설계와 행동 제어전략을 진화시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 그러나 형태와 신경망을 공진화시키는 것은 어렵기에 최적화된 움직임을 가진 인공생명체는 한 가지 형태에 한 가지 움직임만을 가지며 주변 환경 상황은 고려하지 않는 것이 대부분이다. 본 논문에서는 포식자-피식자 모델을 이용하여 형태와 신경망을 공진화하는 인공생명체가 환경적응형 움직임을 갖게 한다. 그런 다음 포식자-피식자 계층 구조를 최상위 포식자-중간 포식자-최하위 피식자 3단계로 확장하여 초기 개체군 밀도에 따라 시뮬레이션의 안정성을 판별하며 형태 진화와 개체군 역학 간의 상관관계를 분석한다.

Artificial life is used in various fields of applied science by evaluating natural life-related systems, their processes, and evolution. Research has been actively conducted to evolve physical body design and behavioral control strategies for the dynamic activities of these artificial life forms. However, since co-evolution of shapes and neural networks is difficult, artificial life with optimized movements has only one movement in one form and most do not consider the environmental conditions around it. In this paper, artificial life that co-evolve bodies and neural networks using predator-prey models have environmental adaptive movements. The predator-prey hierarchy is then extended to the top-level predator, medium predator, prey three stages to determine the stability of the simulation according to initial population density and correlate between body evolution and population dynamics.
