Robotic agents can self-organize their interaction
with the environment by an adaptive homeokinetic
controller that simultaneously maximizes sensitivity
of the behavior and predictability of sensory inputs.
Based on previous work with single robots, we study
the interaction of two homeokinetic agents. We show that
this paradigm also produces quasi-social interactions
among artificial agents.
The results suggest that homeokinetic learning
generates social behavior only in the
the context of an actual encounter of the interaction partner while this
does not happen for an identical stimulus pattern that
is only replayed.
This is in agreement with earlier experiments with human subjects.
