Second Life as a Platform for Creating Intelligent Virtual Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are animated characters that interact with humans and with each other using natural modalities such as speech and gestures. Creation of successful IVA applications is challenging since development requires integration of a broad range of specialized tools and skills. We present a discussion of the advantages and technical challenges of using the Second Life programming environment as an accessible platform for undergraduates to develop an Intelligent Virtual Agent and the environment that

An Unreal Based Platform for Developing Intelligent Virtual Agents
In this paper we suggest an approach for developing programmable intelligent virtual agents over Unreal. We propose various techniques for manipulating creating and modifying Unreal Engine’s actors, as well as a method for developing an additional external controller responsible for intelligent decision making by creating programmable agents. Key-Words: Virtual Agents, Virtual Environments, Tas...
متن کاملVu @ Second Life∗– Creating a (virtual) Community of Learners
In this paper we report on our experiences in creating presence for our university in the Second Life environment. After a brief explanation of our motivation(s), we will describe our approach, which resulted in creating a virtual campus acting both as a portal for information, and, more importantly, as a meeting point, offering the opportunity to create a virtual community of learners, in line...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملExperiments with Virtual Network Management Based on Ontology
This paper presents an agent-based platform to support the development of a management system for the network architecture proposed by the Horizon Project. The platform consists of a substrate network, software for creating virtual networks and a set of agents that support ontology to enable the development of a knowledge plan. We also show the prototype built to evaluate a simple ontology for ...
