A key goal in agent research is to be able to generate multimodal characters that can reflect
a particular personality. The Big Five model of personality provides a framework for codifying …

This paper focuses on challenges to improving the realism of socially intelligent agents and
attempts to reflect the state of the art in human behavior modeling with particular attention to …

This paper describes our approach on the development of the expression of emotions on a
robot with constrained facial expressions. We adapted principles and practices of animation …

Virtual characters are an important part of many 3D graphical simulations. In entertainment
or training applications, virtual characters might be one of the main mechanisms for creating …

This chapter addresses the bodily expression of emotion, specifically, how people
communicate emotion through body posture and gesture and how they make inferences …

We introduce a novel framework for advanced behavioral modeling in virtual humans that
features the first application of decision network techniques to computer graphics and …

Abstract While 'Industry 4.0'drives for greater automation, human factors are still essential in
certain domains, especially in industrial disaster management. Despite human factors are …

The choreography of pedestrian movement is important to many domains of interest,
particularly in the geographical sciences. Agent-based models have become a popular tool …

Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual
environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look …

This paper presents a vision of the near future in which computer interaction is characterized
by natural face-to-face conversations with lifelike characters that speak, emote, and gesture …
