Online self-animated conversational character
In this paper we introduce the nano-agent bio-inspired architecture and its programming language called nanoScheme. We describe an application example developed using this software environment: an online self-animated character that interacts using natural language and emotional expressions. This virtual character is based on a “schizophrenic” model in which the character has multiple distinct personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the user. Moreover, the qualitative efficiency of this prototype is then compared with the ALICE conversational engine (Wallace, 2002). The paper concludes by outlining future developments and possible applications.
