in 2d soccer simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. in this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...

Few today would dispute that the age of autonomous machines is nearly upon us (cf., Kurzweil, 2005; Moravec, 1988), if it not already. While doubtful one can identify any fully autono...

We present an autonomous agent architecture and its component subsystems that integrate important abilities needed for robust, exible performance in dynamic environments. These abilities involve appropriate reaction to environmental situations given the agent's goals; selective attention to multiple, competing goals; planning new action routines when innovation beyond designer-provided routines...

Autonomous Speaker Agent is a graphically embodied animated agent (a virtual character) capable of reading plain English text and rendering it in a form of speech, accompanied by the appropriate, natural-looking facial gestures. The system uses lexical analysis and statistical models of facial gestures in order to generate the gestures related to the spoken text. It is intended for the automati...

In this paper we give a summary of the Autonomous Agent Architecture (AAA architecture for short) for intelligent agents. The AAA architecture is the result of several years of research on the design and implementation of intelligent agents that reason about, and act in, changing environments. In the AAA architecture, the knowledge about the domain where the agent is situated is encoded in Answ...

In this paper, previous simulations (Conover & Trajkovski, 2007; Conover, 2008b) involving passively interacting temporally autonomous agents are expanded to accommodate active agents which directly communicate — albeit in a primitive manner. Throughout the sections of this paper, several agent activation models are explored. In each model, agents exchange “beliefs” via simple messages which ar...
