A Real-Time Human-Coupled Maultiagent System with Reactive Social Organization, Based on Biological Principles

*9615071 Perona该项目是对人与基于计算机的生物激励的代理人紧密耦合交互中的社会反应性、意图和关系的调查。它将导致创建一个具有可视化和实时人机交互的社会代理人的虚拟社会环境。将实现一种基于灵长类大脑结构的并行和模块化结构的代理模型，以交互和实时地发挥作用。将实现与人类参与者的接口，包括实时可视化和实时输入设备，包括先进的六自由度跟踪球。社会主体将在社会上相互反应，他们的意图被观察到，他们的从属关系被其他社会主体评估。观察到的人类参与者的行为和主观体验将被报告。尽管人们本质上的社会性是众所周知的，但这种社会性在与计算机和多个自动化代理合作方面的影响和结果却鲜为人知。归属感、群体归属感、社会团结感和意图归属是促进与人类参与者的多主体活动中的合作和学习的关键。该项目在理解、建模和为研究这些现象提供实验基础设施方面迈出了重要的第一步。***

*** 9615071 Perona The project is an investigation of social reactivity, intention, and relationship in close-coupled interaction of people and computer-based, biologically-motivated agents. It will result in the creation of a virtual social environment of social agents, with visualization and with real-time human-computer interaction. An agent model, whose parallel and modular structure is based on the architecture of the primate brain, will be implemented to function interactively and in real-time. An interface to human participants will be implemented consisting of real-time visualization and real time input devices including an advanced, six-degree-of freedom tracker ball. Social agents will react to each other socially, with their intentions observed and their affiliative relations assessed by the other social agents. Observed behaviors and subjective experiences of human participants will be reported. Although the fundamentally social nature of people is well known, the effects and results of this social nature in cooperating with computers and multiple automated agents are little understood. Affiliation, group-belonging, a sense of social solidarity, and the attribution of intention are key in facilitating cooperation and learning in multi-agent activity with human participants. This project makes important first steps toward understanding, modeling, and providing experimental infrastructure for the study of these phenomena. ***
