چکیده

We present a generic platform, called IViHumans, for materializing a system of multiple intelligent agents into virtual humans. It is intended to be flexible and applicable to diverse realistic simulation environments. The platform is composed of two layers: the Graphical Layer, and the Artificial Intelligence Layer, that can run autonomously. The architecture of our platform was conceived in order to allow the two layers to control the virtual agents at different detail levels.

Autobiographic Knowledge for Believable Virtual Characters

It has been widely acknowledged in the areas of human memory and cognition that behaviour and emotion are essentially grounded by autobiographic knowledge. In this paper we propose an overall framework of human autobiographic memory for modelling believable virtual characters in narrative story-telling systems and role-playing computer games. We first lay out the background research of autobiog...

An Interactive Speech Interface for Virtual Characters in Dynamic Environments

In this paper, we propose a new improvement to our 3D Virtual Story Environment System (3DVSE) by adding a real-time animation with voice synthesis. The new system offers a flexible and easy way to generate an interactive 3D virtual Environment (3DVE) as compared to traditional 3D packages. It enables the user to control and interact with the virtual characters via speech instructions so that t...

AI Characters and Directors for Interactive Computer Games

We are creating an environment for investigating the role of advanced AI in interactive, story-based computer games. This environment is based on the Unreal Tournament (UT) game engine and the Soar AI engine. Unreal provides a 3D virtual environment, while Soar provides a flexible architecture for developing complex AI characters. This paper describes our progress to date, starting with our gam...

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

The Virtual Storyteller: Story Creation by Intelligent Agents

The Virtual Storyteller is a framework for story creation by co-operating intelligent agents. In this framework, a collection of agents is responsible for the creation of different story levels: plot, narrative, and presentation. In the Virtual Storyteller, plots are automatically created based on the actions of autonomous characters whose plot creation is only constrained by general plot requi...
