In plain language

In this experiment, eight artificial agents were placed in a shared environment with the goal of cooperating to build something together. They were instructed to combine their strategies and work collaboratively, using elements from previous stages of the experiment. However, the experiment was not conducted with enough participants to draw any conclusions.
