Abstract. Reactive multi-agent systems are shown to coevolve with explicit communication and cooperative behavior to solve lattice formation tasks. Comparable agents that lack the ability to communicate and cooperate are shown to be unsuccessful in solving the same tasks. The control system for these agents consists of identical cellular automata lookup tables handling communication, cooperation and motion subsystems.
