- | Considering such issues, we intended to contribute both at the theoretical level and the application level. Thus, we have investigated the relations between emotions and communication and proposed a Multimodal Conversational Language (MCL) that allows an artificial companion to express in a expressive manner, verbal and non-verbal, and to interact in a more human-like manner. We have also defined a Cognitive and Affective Architecture (BDI-like reasoning approach integrating Emotion) to deduce the communicative intention of an artificial companion from its mental states. | + | ### |

- | This project focuses on artificial companions for children of ages between 8 and 12 in a home environment. The overall goal is to construct a mixed agent society, composed of companion agents, such as robots and virtual characters, as well as humans. In this society, human-agent relationships will take the same form as with human-human relationships. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This project aims at providing some answers to questions as: Is a group of companions more desirable than a single companion? Can the group help clarifying the social role of each companion, and thus making these companions more acceptable? Furthermore, | + | |
