강연 요약:
Today we are increasingly engaging with artificially intelligent agents via smart speakers, smart phones, and even some smart appliances. Such agents commonly share two primary characteristics: they are typically voice (speech) only, and the interactions are transactional in nature. While others are advancing research related to the computational aspects of artificially intelligent agents, in this talk I will present a body of research related to exploring certain behavioral aspects of embodied agents—agents that include a visual representation. I will also share some past work and future ideas contextualized in healthcare, in particular for simulating, comforting, and assisting patients.
