Emotional agent in serious game (DINO)

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce an novel emotional agent system in 3D virtual world based on OCC (Ortony, Clore and Collins) theory, FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Map) and GoalNet. The agent system is designed based on Goal Net model. Emotional modeling and decision making are based on OCC and FCM inference. Emotions modeled by the OCC model are incorporated into FCM inference. It has been shown emotion has a great impact in decision making. The proposed agent system has been applied to design human-like dinosaur agents in the research project “Immersion and Embodied Learning: Traces of Dinosaurs in Earth System Science” supported by National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore. In this project, we have developed an agent mediated immersive Interactive Digital Media that appropriately recreates and replays the traces of Earth’s history using intelligent agent technology and 3D multi-user environment. The virtual world and emotional dinosaur agents are shown in the demo. The experiments conducted by students in secondary schools in Singapore have shown the emotional agents enable deep learning of earth science.

It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...
متن کاملModeling of Emotional Effects on Decision-making by Game Agents
Game AI agents today do not reflect the affective aspects of human behavior. In particular, game agents do not reflect the effects of human emotional state on an agent’s decision-making behavior. In rare instances when emotional aspects are addressed in game agent architectures, such behavior tends to be ad hoc and not informed by an underlying theory of emotion, nor validated using actual data...
