The artificial culture lab arena now has floodlights - fitted to provide a uniform field of light so that the robots can see each other properly from any position in the arena. With this upgrade to the lab we have now started robot-robot imitation experiments in which the imitated pattern is passed (i.e. copied) back and forth between 2 robots. This will allow us to study how the imitated pattern ( or 'meme') changes over successive (meme) generations.
