Evolving robot explorers

The A.s.a. H. society of agents learns to specialize. One of the mobile robotic arms we have available has been used to transport some of the larger sensors; things like Geiger tubes, metal detectors, anemometers, etc. A.s.a. H. learns/creates a specialist “explorer agent” making use of these hardware components and uses it to probe previously unmapped areas.* The program this particular agent learns is relatively simple, mostly data logging and gps and/or beacon signal logging.

* Seeking out things like abundant light for solar panels, moderate temperatures, low clutter environment, etc. in order to maximize utility.
