The project is to develop a generic architecture for a group of agents to pursue their given goals, adapt their behavior to new environments, and communicate and perform coordinated group actions. Building autonomous agents that interact with real-world software environments such as operating systems or databases is a pragmatically convenient yet intellectually challenging AI problem. The softbot accepts goals in a high-level language, generates and executes plans to achieve these goals, and learns from its experience.
Kasbah is an an on-line multiagent classified ad system.
It has cameras for eyes, microphones for ears, and uses a variety of computer vision, speech and gesture recognition systems to allow people to interact naturally with it. This system allows the user to create and personalize an aerobics session to meet the user's needs and desires. Various media technology and computer vision algorithms are used to enhance the interaction of the character by enabling it to watch and talk to the user. It watches a person drive for five minutes, and can then take over driving. This server is created with Lisp.
