Human behaviors modeling in multi-agent virtual environment

On the Synergy between Virtual Reality and Multi-Agent Systems

“…Within this line, the field of crowd simulation has also gained strength, and we also find some studies on it using VR and MAS [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68]. This type of simulation has multiple purposes: planning emergency plans [69][70][71][72], improvement of the work environment [73][74][75][76][77][78], improvement of the educational environment [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86], people training [87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95], interactions between humans and avatars [96,97], smart buildings and commerce simulation [98,99], etc.…”

“…Antakli et al [77] proposed an agent platform (HumanSim), a combination of Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) paradigm and Answer Set Programming (ASP) to simulate worker agents in a shop floor domain. In the paper of Cai et al [78], the use of an interactive virtual environment is proposed for the simulation of the behavior of miners inside an underground coal mine, for which a behavioral framework based on emotional states and motivational needs is proposed. The main objective of this system is to be able to simulate human behaviors that can generate accidents inside the mine.…”

“…These applications are related to different purposes that are described and in which that section has been divided: videogames development [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], robot simulation [40,41], interactive virtual environments development [42][43][44][45], human behavior simulation , dissemination of cultural heritage [100,101], urban m development of autonomous vehicles [107,108], and machinery simulation [109][110][111] (Figure 5). Also, simulation of human behavior can be divided into subcategories: crowds simulation [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68], emergency plans [69][70][71][72], work environment [73][74][75][76][77][78], educational environment…”

“…In the case of the development of IVEs, frameworks were presented for their creation in which MAS serve to represent all the objects in the environment [42][43][44][45]. In the human behavior simulation, multi-agent systems are used to create different types of movements [46,47] and behaviors [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] for avatars and NPCs that are appreciated by the user as realistic so that they can be used for more serious simulations such as emergency plans [69][70][71][72], improvements of the labor [73][74][75][76][77][78] and educational [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86] environment, personnel training [87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95], etc. For the dissemination of cultural heritage, MAS serve to represent people in the past as well as objects and artifacts [100,101], so that users could learn about it.…”

A Comprehensive Model of the Relationship between Miners’ Work Commitment, Cultural Emotion and Unemployment Risk Perception

“…Employees have a range of emotional reactions to organizational factors. Miners' emotions represent a form of internal motivation which can encourage them to follow safety guidelines, thereby influencing the process of receiving, processing, and reacting to information from underground operations [17]. Throughout this process, if the miner's emotions are positive, they become a directed force that drives employees to pay positive attention to safety issues; if the emotions are negative, they result in a series of unsafe behaviors that are highly likely to lead to accidents [18].…”
