MACC'97 Session: Human Interface
In this paper, we propose a real-world oriented distributed human interface system named AIDA. (Architecture for Interfacing Distributed Agents) AIDA supports human activities in a real-world (i.e. in offices, in houses) without restricting user's physical activities. AIDA is based on multiagent model in which each interfacing element (i.e. mobile robots, workstations) cooperates with each other for providing context-awared support to a user. An agent is constructed by a set of behavior modules for providing reactive responses to a user. Also, with AIDA, the system can adapt to the uncertainty of user's position and the user's attention that may change as time passes. We developed a laboratory guiding system based on AIDA. And we have confirmed the efficiency of AIDA by experiments.
