BDIE: a BDI like Architecture with Emotional Capabilities

Towards a Framework for Reasoning About Emotional BDI Agents

The BDI model of agency is a well studied concept in Formal Logic for Rational Agents, mainly through the BDICTL [7] and KARO [7] logical frameworks. The former is based on the Branching Time Logic CTL [3], whereas the latter in based on Dynamic Logic [4]. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but the union of some properties of both frameworks provide, in our opinion, all the formal tools th...

Emotional Belief-Desire-Intention Agent Model: Previous Work And Proposed Architecture

Research in affective computing shows that agents cannot be truly intelligent, nor believable or realistic without emotions. In this paper, we present a model of emotional agents that is based on a BDI architecture. We show how we can integrate emotions, resources and personality features into an artificial intelligent agent so as to obtain a human-like behavior of this agent. We place our work...

Capability Relationships in BDI Agents

The belief-desire-intention (BDI) architecture has been proposed to support the development of rational agents, integrating theoretical foundations of BDI agents, their implementation, and the building of large-scale multi-agent applications. However, the BDI architecture, as initially proposed, does not provide adequate concepts to produce modular software components. The capability concept em...

Title : Extending a BDI agents ’ architecture with open emotional components

Goal-driven approach to open-ended dialogue management using BDI agents

We describe a BDI (Belief, Desire, Intention) approach and architecture for a conversational virtual companion embodied as a child’s Toy. Our aim is to support both structured conversation-based activities (e.g., story-telling, collaborative games) as well as more free-flowing, engaging dialogue with variation and some unpredictability. We argue that a goal-oriented approach to the agent’s conv...
