Dynamics of moving agents with memory

Abstract

The problem of emergence of collective behavior in a system of two dimensional interacting moving agents is considered, the individual agent architecture is hybrid in the sense that the response is reactive but the agent is capable to choose between two different rules in a probabilistic way: one rule depends on the information from the environment and the other depends on the information imprinted in the agents memory. the dynamics of the system is studied through the characterization of the equilibrium state and the non-equilibrium properties of the system.
