Action hierarchy with interactive motions

Abstract

The motion architecture of agents with simulated behaviors and interactive motions is proposed in this paper. Through such architecture, agents not only can play their own roles autonomously but also can act in response to others motion. For the purpose of analyzing the behaviors and interactive motions of the human beings, an action hierarchy is developed. An action hierarchy of an agent is composed of five layders:scrript units, action units, basic motions,body motions and coordinate units. Through such hierarchy, the motion of a single agent can be completed. For representing the interaction of agents, an interactive motion model is also developed. As the interaction between human beings, agents can acept commands from otehr agents and give appropriate response.An experiment system is presented with a script that a father agent and a child agent go to school together. Similar action hierarchies are built within both agents and interactive motion model provides their communication. With such interaction, when the father agent walks quicker, the child agent will get aware and walk faster
