Swarm-Performance of Multi-Agent Systems and Connections to Equity
Abstract. Many real-world systems are composed of agents whose interactions result in a collective swarm behavior that may be complex, unexpected, and/or unintended. We highlight intriguing cases of interplay between the micro-scale behavior of agents and the macro-scale performance of the swarm, with a particular emphasis on heterogeneous systems composed of different types of agents, such as: traffic flow (the role of automation/connectivity on the energy footprint of urban traffic flow), mixed human/robotic groups (transportation of supplies to a disaster area), and biological systems (schools of fish and colonies of penguins). We particularly show how behavior interpretable as 'equitable’ or 'altruistic’ is possible to arise from pure survival-of-the-fittest objective functions
