Description

This MARIE setup is a collective puck foraging by autonomous simulated agents. Agents' behavior is emotionally enhanced.

Here's the list of main features :

• Implements MBA behavior-based hybrid architecture.
• Generic emotional model.
• Autonomous puck foraging.
• Logging architecture based on MARIE logger.

Integrated Softwares

• Player device abstraction allows to use the same system configuration to run in simulation Stage
