This paper describes efforts directed at the simulation and control of autonomous vehicles and pedestrians for use in driving simulators scenarios. It describes the use of artificial intelligence interactive systems, and the concepts of... more
Applications of artificial intelligence in cyber warfare have been mainly postulated and studied in the context of defensive operations. This paper provides an introductory overview of the use of autonomous agents in offensive cyber... more
The Expressive Intelligence Studio is developing a new approach to freeform conversational interaction in playable media that combines dialogue management, natural language generation (NLG), and natural language understanding. In this... more
This paper brings together agent-oriented programming, organisation-oriented programming and environment-oriented programming, all of which are programming paradigms that emerged out of research in the area of multi-agent systems. In... more
Reacting to unpredictable situations is one of the main problems in technical automation. This article introduces two developed framework for decision units for embodied autonomous agents. The models are compared to an existing... more
This paper investigates a relatively new direction in Multiagent Reinforcement Learning. Most multiagent learning techniques focus on Nash equilibria as elements of both the learning algorithm and its evaluation criteria. In contrast, we... more
Traditional approaches model consciousness as the outcome either of internal computational processes or of cognitive structures. We advance an alternative hypothesis – consciousness is the hallmark of a fundamental way to organise causal... more
A system built in terms of autonomous software agents may require even greater correctness assurance than one that is merely reacting to the immediate control of its users. Agents make substantial decisions for themselves, so thorough... more
Necessary background and potential target audience for the tutorial: experience with computer animation is recommended but not mandatory. The course is intended for animators, designers, and students in computer sci-ence. Detailed outline... more
This paper describes the application and performance evaluation of a new algorithm for multiple objective optimization problems (MOOP) based on reinforcement learning. The new algorithm, called MDQL, considers a family of agents for each... more
Surgeons normally need surgical scissors and tissue grippers to cut through a deformable surgical tissue. The cutting accuracy depends on the skills to manipulate these two tools. Such skills are part of basic surgical skills training as... more
