DeepMind si Quake III ArenaCei de la Google antreneaza o echipa de boti (arhitectura de boti numita For The Win (FTW)) care sa se descurce si sa coopereze in jocuri de tip multi-player.
Pe scurt, intr-o varianta de Quake III Arena, modul "Capture The Flag", echipa de boti invinge orice echipa umana, atat in versiunea boti vs oameni cat si in versiunea boti plus oameni vs doar oameni.
Cei de la MIT care au facut review la un studiu pe tema asta (AI shows off winning cooperative team behavior) au declarat ca: "Agentii AI pot colabora, de asemenea, cu jucatori umani - si acei jucatori spun ca programele sunt mai buni parteneri decat majoritatea oamenilor".
Margi Murphy de la The Telegraph, mentioneaza ca un aspect deosebit de interesant consta in faptul ca: "AI DeepMind pare sa prefere tactici psihologice umane ca mod tipic pentru a castiga meciurile - mai degraba decat sa memoreze harta jocului și posibilele rezultate obtinute din anumite miscari".

In urma cu doar cateva ore, Profesorul Alan Winfield si echipa lui de la Bristol Robotics Lab. au reusit sa obtina finantarea pentru un program deosebit de ambitios si interesant:
Autonomous Robot Evolution (ARE)"In a radical new approach
we will co-evolve robot bodies and brains in real-time and real-space. Using techniques from 3D printing new robot designs will literally be printed, before being trained in a nursery, then fitness tested in a target environment (a mock nuclear plant). The genomes of the fittest robots will then be combined to create the next generation of ‘child' robots, so that – over successive generations – we will breed new robot designs in a process that mirrors the way farmers have artificially selected new varieties of plants and animals for thousands of years."
"One of the most interesting aspects of the project is that
we have no idea what the robots we breed will look like. The evolutionary process could come up with almost any body shape and structure (morphology). The same process will also determine which and how many organs (sensors, actuators, etc) are selected, and their positions and orientation within the body.
Our evolved robot bodies could be very surprising indeed."
