: We present a way to mix the lower control of agents with the high level specifications of their goals. This paper addresses various topics required to animate virtual humans in a...
Although many powerful AI and machine learning techniques exist, it remains difficult to quickly create AI for embodied virtual agents that produces visually lifelike behavior. T...

This paper describes the Mediating Agent, an animated pedagogical agent inserted in a computational system for distance learning, which has the goal of motivating the student to le...
We propose novel gaze control algorithms for active perception in mobile autonomous agents with directable, foveated vision sensors. Our agents are realistic artificial animals, o...
Gaze is an extremely important aspect of human face to face interaction. Over the course of an interaction, a single individual’s gaze can perform many different functions, such...
