Abstract

We present our approach for a general component-based animation framework for autonomous cognitive characters. In this ongoing project we develop a working platform for autonomous characters in dynamic virtual environments, where users can define high level goals, and virtual characters will determine appropriate actions based on specific domain knowledge and AI techniques. The user will also be allowed to overrule the character's decision and force it to execute different actions. Motion sequences implied by the character's actions will be created by adapting reference motions provided by a motion database.
