The Project ENTs: Towards Modeling Human-like Artificial Agents

Abstract

Abstract. The Project ENTs aims at providing a universal high-level tool for prototyping human-like artificial agents. The main features of this tool are a virtual test-bed environment and E language, which enables description of human-like agents ’ behaviours using various techniques, in particular reactive planning and BDI-architecture. In this paper, we present first generation of this tool together with an example agent—an artificial gardener that acts in a virtual family house. We then briefly discuss applicability of this tool and introduce some requirements for its second generation.
