Abstract
Collective behavior such as bird flocking, land animal herding, and fish schooling is well known in nature. Many observations
have shown that there are no leaders to control the behavior of a group. Several models have been proposed for describing
the grouping behavior, which we regard as a distinctive example of aggregate motions. In these models, a fixed rule is provided
for each of the individuals a priori for their interactions in a reductive and rigid manner. In contrast, we propose a new
framework for the self-organized grouping of agents by reinforcement learning. It is important to introduce a learning scheme
for causing collective behavior in artificial autonomous distributed systems. The behavior of agents is demonstrated and evaluated
through computer simulations and it is shown that their grouping and anti-predator behavior emerges as a result of learning.
