abstract
This paper investigates the evolution of communication among autonomous robots in the real world. A simple model has been constructed as a first step, in which a population of artificial organisms inhabits a lattice plane. Each organism communicates information with neighbors by uttering words. A common language typically evolves. We have analyzed evolutionary dynamics in this system, and have begun to implement it with a population of small mobile robots.
