Towards Learning ‘Self’ and Emotional Knowledge in Social and Cultural Human-Agent Interactions
(2009)
This article presents research towards the development of a virtual learning environment (VLE) inhabited by intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) and modeling a scenario of inter-cultural interactions. The ultimate aim of this ...
An Initial Memory Model for Virtual and Robot Companions Supporting Migration and Long-term Interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
This work proposes an initial memory model for a long-term artificial companion, which migrates among virtual and robot platforms based on the context of interactions with the human user. This memory model enables the ...
Supporting narrative understanding of children with autism: A story interface with autonomous autobiographic agents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
Recent studies in education for children with autism demonstrated that computer assisted learning can increase children's narrative understanding. However, software interfaces which include autonomous intelligent agents ...
Designing an Educational Game Facilitating Children’s Understanding of the Development of Social Relationships Using IVAs with Social Group Dynamics
(2009)
Social relationships are fundamentally important to humans. Children are born into a family social structure and gradually they become part of a wider social structure including peers, in which each individual’s relationships ...
Reducing the cost of robotics software : SAMGAR, a generic modular robotic software communication architecture
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
Code reuse in advanced robotics can be problematic due to the wide spectrum of robotic projects and little standardization. Although, in some cases, there are standardisations and tools that can be used, such as YARP, there ...
Towards a Narrative Mind: The Creation of Coherent Life Stories for Believable Virtual Agents
(2008)
This paper describes an approach to create coherent life stories for Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) in order to achieve long-term believability. We integrate a computational autobiographic memory, which allows agents ...
Computational memory architectures for autobiographic agents interacting in a complex virtual environment : a working model
(2008)
In this paper, we discuss the concept of autobiographic agent and how memory may extend an agent's temporal horizon and increase its adaptability. These concepts are applied to an implementation of a scenario where agents ...
AMIA: A knowledge representation model for computational autobiographic agents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
This paper describes a hierarchical design for knowledge representation in computational autobiographic memory. This model is named AMIA (Autobiographic Memory for Intelligent Agents). Inspired by research in human ...
A study of episodic memory-based learning and narrative structure for autobiographic agents
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2006)
Autobiographic agents in dynamic virtual environments - performance comparison for different memory control architectures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
In this paper, we extend our previous work in investigating the performance of different autobiographic memory control architectures which are developed based on a basic subsumption control architecture for Artificial Life ...
