Abstract
Dette speciale udvikler en algoritme, der lader mange simple agenter bygge i fællesskab, inspireret af sværmintelligens (som når myrer eller bier koordinerer uden en leder). Algoritmen bruger forgreningsregler: den vurderer, hvordan byggeklodser er placeret, og vælger derefter den næste byggehandling. Med disse regler kan systemet samle store arkitektoniske strukturer, der minder om menneskeskabt byggeri. Specialet undersøger også, om en genetisk algoritme—en optimeringsmetode, der efterligner evolution—kan finde effektive regler til den kollektive byggeproces.
This thesis develops an algorithm that enables many simple agents to build together, inspired by swarm intelligence (like ants or bees coordinating without a leader). The algorithm uses branching rules: it looks at how building blocks are arranged and then chooses the next construction action. With these rules, the system can assemble large architectural features similar to human-made structures. The thesis also examines whether a genetic algorithm—an optimization method that mimics evolution—can automatically discover effective rules for the collective building process.
