Abstract | We present the Thalamus framework, which is based on SAIBA and extends it by adding a perceptual loop. This perceptual loop enables embodied characters to perform continuous interaction. The framework was tested in a case study involving a NAO and an EMYS robots. After showing that our extension works, we point out some is- sues that were encountered during the development of the case study. We also suggest that the definition of a formal Perception Modelling Language (PML) based on the SAIBA framework can enable SAIBA- compliant embodied characters to perform continuous interaction, while still performing synchronized multimodal behavior based on BML. | |
