Entomologists, collective-behaviour researchers, neuroethologists, and insect-inspired robotics teams.
A research scaffold for insect perception, navigation, foraging, collective behaviour, and superorganisms.
このページで
Insects and insect colonies are compact, tractable active-inference systems: individuals infer environmental states from limited senses and act under tight resource constraints, while colonies behave as superorganisms whose collective dynamics can be read as distributed inference.
Insect sensory ecology, navigation, and foraging are perception-action loops under uncertainty and scarcity, and ant and bee colonies externalise memory and decision-making across many bodies. Active inference provides one formalism that spans neurons, individuals, and colonies, making the superorganism a concrete multi-scale modelling target.
A domain report should track generative models of insect perception and action, expected-free-energy policy selection in foraging and navigation, active and epistemic sensing, and hierarchical multi-scale models from neurons to colonies. It should separate simulation frameworks from data-driven models grounded in behavioural recordings.
Empirical validation is the central challenge: the next pass should gather colony-behaviour and navigation studies, basal-cognition and executive-function work in insects, and insect-inspired robotics, while explicitly testing active inference against alternative (e.g. reinforcement-learning or heuristic) accounts and bridging individual and colony scales.
