Creatures: Entertainment Software Agents with Artificial Life

We present a technical description of Creatures, a commercial home-entertainment software package. Creatures provides a simulated environment in which exist a number of synthetic agents that a user can interact with in real-time. The agents (known as ’’...

The Cortexionist architecture: behavioural intelligence of artificial creatures
Special Issue on Cypberworlds'2009

Traditionally, producing intelligent behaviours for artificial creatures involves modelling their cognitive abilities. This approach raises two problems. On the one hand, defining manually the agent’s knowledge is a heavy and error-prone task that ...
