Abstract

This paper investigates the use the swarm intelligence of honey bees to create groups of co-operative AI for an RTS game in order to create and re-enact battle simulations. The behaviour of the agents are based on the foraging and defensive behaviours of honey bees, adapted to a human environment. The groups consist of multiple model-based reflex agents, with individual blackboards for working memory, with a colony level blackboard to mimic the foraging patterns. An agent architecture and environment is proposed that allows for creation of autonomous cooperative agents. The behaviour of agents is then evaluated and their intelligence is tested using an adaptation of Anytime Universal Intelligence Test.
