Contextually Embodied Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter we present our work on the elaboration of a contextually embodied agent. We define such an agent as an agent capable of planning what to communicate as well as deciding with which verbal and nonverbal signals to output considering contextual information. We first present our 3D facial model that follows MPEG-4 standard. Then we present our taxonomy of communicative facial expressions. We describe our discourse planner that generate synchronized verbal and nonverbal signals. Our planner takes as input a communicative goal and output a multimodal discourse where nonverbal expressions are modulated based on contextual information.

(Proto-) Consciousness as a Contextually Emergent Property of Self-Sustaining Systems
The concept of contextual emergence has been introduced as a specific kind of emergence in which some, but not all of the conditions for a higher-level phenomenon exist at a lower level. Further conditions exist in contingent contexts that provide stability conditions at the lower level, which in turn afford the emergence of novelty at the higher level. The purpose of the present paper is to pr...
متن کاملCommunicating and Acting: Understanding Gesture in Simulation Semantics
In this paper, we introduce an architecture for multimodal communication between humans and computers engaged in a shared task. We describe a representative dialogue between an artificial agent and a human that will be demonstrated live during the presentation. This assumes a multimodal environment and semantics for facilitating communication and interaction with a computational agent. To this ...

In this paper, we introduce a multimodal environment and semantics for facilitating communication and interaction with a computational agent, as proxy to a robot. To this end, we have created an embodied 3D simulation enabling both the generation and interpretation of multiple modalities, including: language, gesture, and the visualization of objects moving and agents acting in their environmen...
