A Layered Brain Architecture for Synthetic Creatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new layered brain architecture for simulated autonomous and semi-autonomous creatures that inhabit graphical worlds. The main feature of the brain is its division into distinct systems, which communicate through common access to an internal mental blackboard. The brain was designed to encourage experimentation with various systems and architectures. It has so far proven flexible enough to accommodate research advancing in a number of different directions by a small team of researchers.

Creature Smarts: The Art and Architecture of a Virtual Brain
That’s the question that drives the Synthetic Characters group at the MIT Media Lab. We draw inspiration from animal behavior, experimental biology, and the brain and cognitive sciences, and apply lessons learned from those fields to the study of artificial intelligence. While there are many research groups that focus on a particular cognitive ability, we have found it instructive to build comp...
متن کاملA Cognitive Architecture Based on Neuroscience for the Control of Virtual 3D Human Creatures
For the creation of a virtual 3D creature it is necessary an underlying structure that provides to it some desired capabilities. One of our main research objectives is creating a virtual 3D creature that resembles human behavior in an actual environment. In this paper, we propose a cognitive architecture inspired in the recent findings of the neuroscience which will represent the underlying str...
متن کاملImpact of Layout Sequence of the Natural and Synthetic Adsorbents in Double-Layered Composites on Improving the Natural Fiber Acoustic Performance Using the Numerical Finite Element Method
Introduction: The acoustic performance of natural fiber adsorbents has been investigated in numerous studies. A part of these materials show a poor adsorption within the frequency range of less than 1000 Hz. In the present study, attempts were made to investigate the effect of layout sequence of double-layered composites consisting of natural and synthetic fibers on improving the acoustic adsor...
متن کاملLayered Control Architectures in Robots and Vertebrates
We review recent research in robotics, neuroscience, evolutionary neurobiology, and ethology with the aim of highlighting some points of agreement and convergence. Specifically, we compare Brooks’ (1986) subsumption architecture for robot control with research in neuroscience demonstrating layered control systems in vertebrate brains, and with research in ethology that emphasizes the decomposit...
متن کاملIt’s about Time: Temporal Representations for Synthetic Characters
Inspired by recent work in ethology and animal training, we integrate representations for time and rate into a behavior-based architecture for autonomous virtual creatures. The resulting computational model of affect and action selection allows these creatures to discover and refine their understanding of apparent temporal causality relationships which may or may not involve self-action. The fu...
