Plain-Language Brief

The paper proposes a modular cognitive architecture for developing intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) that can function effectively in real-time interactive virtual environments. The proposed architecture aims to bridge the gap between high-level agent reasoning models and real-time embodied execution, providing a template for deploying IVA 'brains' in 3D computing systems.

What the Document Says

  • The paper addresses the challenge of developing cognitive embodied Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) in real-time interactive virtual environments.
  • Existing architectures are either focused on low-level reactive control systems or high-level reasoning models, with difficulties in implementing them in virtual worlds.
  • The proposed architecture is modular and based on existing frameworks like the Sense-Think-Act paradigm and the Belief-Desire-Intention cognitive model.
  • The goal is to provide a reusable implementation-oriented framework for deploying IVA 'brains' in 3D computing systems.
  • The architecture aims to bridge the gap between high-level agent reasoning models and real-time embodied execution.
  • The result should be scalable, adaptive, and explainable agents in complex interactive virtual environments.

Raw Abstract / Excerpt

The development of embodied Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) that have cognitive capabilities in real-time interactive virtual environments remains a challenge, even with today's advancements in technology. Existing architectures are often focused on either the implementation of low-level reactive control systems that are constrained by commercial game engines, or high-level representations of reasoning models that can be difficult to implement in virtual worlds. This paper builds on that notion and proposes a modular cognitive architecture for deploying embodied IVAs. This architecture builds on existing, pre-established frameworks such as the Sense-Think-Act paradigm and the Belief-Desire-Intention cognitive model, among others, and aims to provide a reusable implementation-oriented framework as a template for deploying IVA 'brains' in interactive 3D computing systems. The proposed architecture contributes by providing a modular, implementation-oriented framework for the deployment of embodied, cognitive-capable IVAs and bridges the gap between high-level agent reasoning models with real-time embodied execution, for scalable, adaptive, and explainable agents in complex interactive virtual environments.
