چکیده

Software agents are very different from mobile robots. For instance, they exist in a world quite unlike the world robots exist in. Also, software agents are not embodied. We investigate how these two differences reflect on agent design principles like situatedness and embodiment. We find that the insights gained from designing mobile robots cannot be applied directly to software agent design. Similarly, in the other direction, insights gained from designing software agents cannot be readily applied to mobile robots. This leads us to a notion of situatedness that is different from the notion of being in the world. The Feynman problem solving Algorithm: • Write down the problem

Reactive Agents in Behavioral Animation

This paper presents actors in behavioral animation as being reactive autonomous agents in a virtual environment. The principles underlying the proposed model are cognition, emergence, situatedness, recursion and cooperation. Also the model is based on a cognitive architecture where both controlled and automatic procedures coexist. An animated sequence of a navigation scene is generated by a pro...

Situated Software Design

In computer science we are used to characterize systems in terms of levels of virtual machines. In other words, we are dealing with virtual worlds. For virtual worlds the rationalistic perspective is well suited, i.e. general rules can be logically applied to situations characterized by objects with well-defined properties. However, software design is concerned with developing systems for the r...

Constructive memory for situated design agents

Design is situated. Situatedness in designing entails the explicit consideration of the state of the environment, the knowledge and experiences of the designer and the interactions between the designer and the environment during designing. Central to the notion of situatedness is the notion of design situation and constructive memory. A design situation models a particular state of interaction ...

Infanoid: An Experimental Tool for Developmental Psycho-Robotics

Recent studies of humanoid robotics (Brooks 1998) have claimed that natural communication with human beings requires that the artificial agent possesses two essential features: embodiment, sharing a structurally and functionally similar body with the interlocutor, and situatedness, being embedded in the same socio-cultural environment (Zlatev 1999). However, almost no specific methods have been...
