|---|---|
| Description: | The research areas of Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs), Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs), Socially Intelligent Agents (SIAs) and Social Robotics (SRs) have a common goal: to develop artificial agents (with either a physical or virtual embodiment) that are able to interact with human users and each other in a natural and intuitive manner. While the communities researching in these areas are aware of one another in principle, they do not yet benefit from each other's research as much as they could. This comprehensive handbook on Socially Interactive Agents (SIAs) that will summarize the research that has taken place over the last 20 years in the fields of IVAs, ECAs (which will in the following be used interchangeably) and SRs, highlighting the similarities and differences of the different types of agents. With it the editors aim to bring the communities closer together and to attempt to close the gap between these very related research fields. |
