Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop precise operational models for emergent communication systems.
  • To explore how agents create shared, grounded communication.

Main Methods:

  • Computational synthesis of agent-based models.
  • Robotic implementations of agent interactions.
  • Simulations of communication system emergence.

Main Results:
