The Artificial Experimentalist: Discovery and Control of Self-Organizing Phenomena with Autotelic Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a closed‑loop framework using autotelic reinforcement learning to explore and manipulate complex systems, specifically Lenia, a continuous cellular automaton. An agent called CARL autonomously samples diverse goals and learns a goal‑conditioned policy that intervenes with minimal, local perturbations. CARL demonstrates three key abilities: discovering stable solitons more efficiently than heuristic baselines, steering existing solitons with few interventions, and enabling humans to guide solitons through maze environments in real time via high‑level commands. The agents generalize zero‑shot to out‑of‑distribution conditions, suggesting a path toward artificial experimentalist agents that can discover and control emergent phenomena.
