Lifelike Pedagogical Agents for Mixed-initiative Problem Solving in Constructivist Learning Environments

Mixed-initiative problem solving lies at the heart of knowledge- based learning environments. While learners are actively engaged in problem-solving activities, learning environments should monitor their progress and provide them with feedback in a ...
Pedagogical Agents: Back to the Future

Back in the 1990s, we started work on pedagogical agents — a novel paradigm for interactive learning. Pedagogical agents are autonomous characters that inhabit learning environments to engage with learners in rich, face‐to‐face interactions. Building on ...
Generating Responsive Life-Like Biped Characters
PCG'12: Proceedings of the The third workshop on Procedural Content Generation in Games

In this paper, we present a real-time method for generating 3D biped character motions that are dynamic and responsive but also believably life-like and natural. Our model uses a physics-based controller to generate intelligent foot placement and upper-...
