Niching Agents in The Core

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

The Core is a unique competitive co-evolution algorithm that allows agents to evolve autonomous control without utilizing a traditional fitness function. The agents evolve via local interactions through tournament selection, crossover, and mutation, producing offspring by evolving better controllers. Previous works have shown The Core's ability to evolve agents capable of combat and navigation in the Xpilot video game. This research expands upon that premise by niching agents to specific subsets of the original environment The Core was tested in. Our results demonstrate the niched agents capac
