This paper presents results from three experiments which investigate the evolution of referential communication in embodied dynamical agents. Agents, interacting with only simple sensors and motors, are evolved in a task which requires one agent to communicate the locations of spatially distant targets to another agent. The results from these experiments demonstrate a variety of successful communication strategies, providing a first step towards understanding the emergence of referential communication in terms of coordinated behavioral interactions.
