人工文化实验：从嘈杂的模仿到讲故事的机器人
Experiments in Artificial Culture: from noisy imitation to storytelling robots
摘要：
本文介绍了一系列的实验，在集体社会机器人，跨越10年以上，长期的目标是建立体现模型（方面）的文化进化。最初的实验表明，在一组被编程为模仿彼此行为的社交机器人（我们称之为Copybots）中出现了行为传统。这些实验表明，真实物理机器人免费提供的嘈杂（即不完美的保真度）模仿自然会引起社会学习的变化。最近的实验工作通过基于模拟的内部模型扩展了机器人的认知能力，为它们配备了简单的人工思维理论。有了这种扩展的能力，我们在目前的工作中探索社会学习，而不是通过模仿，而是通过机器人讲故事，努力模拟这种非常人性化的文化传播模式。在本文中，我们给出了这些实验的方法和灵感，实验和他们的结果，并概述了可能的方向，这项研究计划。我们希望本文不仅能激发讨论，还能为使用Storybots进行测试的假设提供建议。
英文摘要：
This paper presents a series of experiments in collective social robotics, spanning more than 10 years, with the long-term aim of building embodied models of (aspects) of cultural evolution. Initial experiments demonstrated the emergence of behavioural traditions in a group of social robots programmed to imitate each other's behaviours (we call these Copybots). These experiments show that the noisy (i.e. less than perfect fidelity) imitation that comes for free with real physical robots gives rise naturally to variation in social learning. More recent experimental work extends the robots' cognitive capabilities with simulation-based internal models, equipping them with a simple artificial theory of mind. With this extended capability we explore, in our current work, social learning not via imitation but robot-robot storytelling, in an effort to model this very human mode of cultural transmission. In this paper we give an account of the methods and inspiration for these experiments, the experiments and their results, and an outline of possible directions for this programme of research. It is our hope that this paper stimulates not only discussion but suggestions for hypotheses to test with the Storybots.
