Modeling Social Relationship

An Agent Architecture for Voluntary Mutual Control

  • Chapter
Socially Intelligent Agents

Abstract

We describe an approach to social action and social relationship among socially intelligent agents [4], based on mutual planning and mutual control of action. We describe social behaviors, and the creation and maintenance of social relationships, obtained with an implementation of a biologically inspired parallel and modular agent architecture. We define voluntary action and social situatedness, and we discuss how mutual planning and mutual control of action emerge from this architecture.
