Understanding Virtual Actors [PDF]

2010 Brazilian Symposium on Games and Digital Entertainment, 2010
Autonomous Digital Actors represent the next step in authoring movies with believable characters, in a way that will allow them to be trained for acting specific roles in a story, suggesting appropriate behaviors during their performance. This article presents an overview of the art of acting and directing and how these concepts were used to elaborate ...

LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of

Push the Limits: Human‐Like Multimodal Extreme Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Racing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous racing tests embodied intelligence under extreme control limits of speed, actuation, and decision‐making. Inspired by human multimodality, we present Apex, an embodied agent deployed on a super‐formula racing car at Yas Marina. Integrating physics‐informed perception, multimodal learning, and tasking, Apex cuts lap times by 15% and achieves ...

Are international organizations agents in their own right? A plural subject perspective

International Theory
The paper advances a novel theoretical perspective on the agency of international organizations (IOs). It argues that existing accounts–whether focused on intraorganizational actors such as bureaucracies or on member-dominated IOs–overlook the fact that ...

Multiparty Session Actors [PDF]

Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2014
Actor coordination armoured with a suitable protocol description language has been a pressing problem in the actors community. We study the applicability of multiparty session type (MPST) protocols for verification of actor programs. We incorporate sessions to actors by introducing minimum additions to the model such as the notion of actor roles and ...

Autonomous Navigation of Pollen‐Inspired Magnetic Microrobots for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sunflower pollen‐inspired magnetic microrobot enables controlled rolling navigation in vessel‐like environments. Its open geometry reduces hydrodynamic drag, while vision‐based closed‐loop control, shortest‐path planning, and reinforcement learning support target‐reaching and maze navigation with microrobot‐scale accuracy, highlighting a route toward
