Artificial intelligence, virtual characters and autonomous agents

Comprehensive Virtual Agents
The iCinema Centre will be doing a considerable amount of research into Virtual Agents; we are looking for new ways of interacting with virtual characters. AI will be used not only for the act of interaction, for example, conversation, but also to allow the agents to “learn” how to move in their virtual space.
Prerequisites: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics

A general belief, desire and intention framework for Agent behaviour

Beyond path-finding: generation of natural navigation and locomotion

Natural conversational behaviour

Agents that want to teach and learn

Synthetic robotics
