Abstract :
The artificial ecological pyramid model is proposed to solve complex problems, which is a layered evolutionary multi-agent system model. The model has three layers. The lowest layer is composed of "stimulation-response" agents called base agents. The second layer is composed of combined agents that are combinations of base agents. The top layer is composed of advanced agents that have reasoning capabilities. Agents in all layers must be up against the test of environment. Agents on the lowest layer can only improve their fitness evaluations by evolutional methods, and agents on upper layers can also improve their fitness evaluations by "eating" agents on lower layers. We also construct a strategy system based on artificial ecological pyramid model to solve the problem of rivalry between autonomous robots. The simulation results of the test on soccer robot system prove the model effect
