Abstract :
The authors´ work deals with the self-organizing robotic system comparing with society of human being, or sociobiology, and robotic system. Since the interaction among individuals evolves the society, the organizing robotic system must have the character as a `society´, which robotic individuals construct. The authors describe the concept of `social robotics´, which consists of autonomous distributed robots such as human being or insects, according to intelligence level. They show several topics for realization of self-evolutionary robotic system, such as the comparison between information flow and organization or society of the system, the ability of self-organization for robotic system from its architecture of control, communication and structure, and comparison between natural gene and technical gene from the theory of natural evolution
