Title
Cross-media agent platform
Abstract
We have developed a general purpose use and modular architecture of an embodied conversational agent (ECA). Our agent is able to communicate using verbal and nonverbal channels like gaze, facial expressions, and gestures. Our architecture follows the SAIBA framework that sets 3-step process and communication protocols. In our implementation of SAIBA architecture we focus on flexibility and we introduce different levels of the customization. In particular, our system is able to display the same communicative intention with different embodiments, be a virtual agent or a robot. Moreover our framework is independent of the animation player technology. Agent animations can be displayed across different medias, such as web browser, virtual or augmented reality. In this paper we present our agent architecture and its main features.
