Capture the Flag: the emergence of complex cooperative agents

#artificialintelligence

How did our agents perform as well as they did? First, we noticed that the agents had very fast reaction times and were very accurate taggers, which might explain their performance (tagging is a tactical action that sends opponents back to their starting point). Humans are comparatively slow to process and act on sensory input, due to our slower biological signalling. Here's an example of a reaction time test you can try yourself. Thus, our agents' superior performance might be a result of their faster visual processing and motor control.
