Week 1/2 Status
Scientific:
Accomplishments:
- FDG 09 paper got out on the 23rd
- HRI 09 abstract has been accepted. I’m author 4 of 6 on this paper/poster, for setting up the experiment while at NRL and drafting the first paper
Challenges:
- Influence points need to be integrated into BEHAVEngine properly
- Behavior parameters should probably be formalized; they’re simple, but I want to be sure I’m using them in a principled manner
Engineering:
Accomplishments:
- C++ rewrite of BEHAVEngine and associated utilities begun; it should end up being fully cross-platform
- Persuaded all necessary libraries to work : boost, stlport, libxml
- agentcore and agent XML files fully parsed in C++
- problems in agent XML schema fixed
Problems:
- Need to figure out how to use boost graph library, which should make working with SSPS easier and more efficient
- SSPS rewrite shouldn’t take long, but will take a bit of time
- Hunter reports some sort of crash in Python BEHAVEngine, but I have no details at present
- Generally just need to do the BEHAVEngine rewrite, including Influence Points and all behaviors
Papers
- IAAI paper on DASSIEs (Dr. Y as lead)
- IROS paper possibility for March 1
- GDC scholarship deadline is soon
