Abstract:
This paper studies the behavior of cooperation between Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA). The significant role of social emotions and empathy in realizing this complex type of social behavior has been proved. For the purposes of the experiment, a programming system with a scenario has been proposed, according to which intelligent virtual agents with PRE-ThINK architecture sort out the tasks at their workplace. When they mutually show consideration for the plans of the other agent, they manage to realize these plans. Their overall emotional state improves. They are friendly and perfect themselves. The dynamics of making decisions has also been shown: in problematic situations when mixed emotions occur; in justification the choices of tasks they make; in defining priorities and planning actions. Experiments with the agents have been discussed both for the case of collaborative behavior and for lack of communication, comments on the sequences from the chosen types of behavior have been given. The cooperative behavior is achieved by controlling the thoughts of the agents.
