A software environment for a human-aware ambient agent supporting attention-demanding tasks

چکیده
This paper presents a software environment for a human-aware ambient agent providing support for a human performing an attention-demanding task. The agent obtains human attention-awareness by use of a dynamical model of human attention, gaze sensoring by an eye-tracker, and information about features of the objects in the environment. It has been implemented in a component-based, event-driven manner within the Adobe Flex environment, thereby also integrating the Tobii ® eye-tracker. It has been applied in a setup for a task where the human has to identify enemies and allies, and eliminate the enemies.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Human-Aware Software Agent Supporting Attention-Demanding Tasks
This paper presents a human-aware software agent to support a human performing a task that demands substantial amounts of attention. The agent obtains human awareness in an adaptive manner by use of a dynamical model of human attention which is parameterised for specific characteristics of the human. The agent uses a built-in adaptation model to adapt on the fly the values of these parameters t...
متن کاملAn Ambient Agent Model Exploiting Workflow-Based Reasoning to Recognize Task Progress
For an ambient intelligent agent to support a human in demanding tasks it is important to be aware of the progress made in a given workflow. It would be possible to interact with the human about this, but this may disturb task performance. In this paper an ambient agent model is presented that is able to obtain such an awareness of the human’s progress in a workflow by performing model-based an...
متن کاملAn Agent-based Architecture for Developing Activity-Aware Systems for Assisting Elderly
Ageing is a global phenomenon which has motivated many research and development projects with the aim of providing computing services that support the active and independent living of the elderly. To integrate the ambient intelligence (AmI) vision into the home environment to allow elders to “age in place”, it has been identified the necessity of providing high-level software support for creati...
متن کاملAdaptivity, Emotion, and Rationality in Human and Ambient Agent Models
A system which has the ability to take a flexible autonomous action in a dynamic, unpredictable and open environment is referred to as an agent. Agent technology has a great impact on all spheres of society. For instance, agent technology is being applied within the area of ambient intelligence, which has become one of the most dynamic, demanding and exciting domains of computational sciences n...
