An Introduction to Soar as an Agent Architecture

Three Types of Emotional Effects That Will Occur in a Cognitive Architecture like Soar Workshop on Architectures Underlying Motivation and Emotion

Introduction and abstract ˆ This short paper is offered as a foil to those produced by real thinkers about emotions.1 It is also a chance for me to think about something new, for I haven't studied emotions before, although I have spent considerable time thinking about cognitive architectures. We will find that emotions will be and must be incorporated into architectures for cognition, that both...

A Gentle Introduction to Soar, an Architecture for Human Cognition

Towards a Generic Infrastructure to Adjust the Autonomy of Soar Agents

Developing and testing intelligent agents is a complex task that is both time-consuming and costly. This creates the potential that problems in the agent’s behavior will be realized only after the agent has been put to use. In this paper we explore two implementations of a generic agent selfassessment framework applied to the Soar agent architecture. Our system extends previous work and can be ...

A Soar-based Planning Agent for Gas-Turbine Engine Control and Health Management

Intelligent Agent technologies constitute an important stream of research in the Artificial Intelligence community. Their characteristics make them suitable for a variety of applications. In this paper, we investigate the use of Intelligent Agent technology in the field of Gas-Turbine Engine Control and Health Management. We present and test a Planning agent, developed to choose and apply appro...

Soar-RWA: Planning, Teamwork, and Intelligent Behavior for Synthetic Rotary Wing Aircraft

We have constructed a team of intelligent agents that perform the tasks of an Army attack helicopter company and a Marine transport/escort combined team for a synthetic battlefield environment used for running largescale military exercises. We have used the Soar integrated architecture to develop: (1) pilot agents for a company of helicopters, (2) a command agent that makes decisions and plans ...
