======M14 First Skeleton Companions : April 2009======

**D9.2. First skeleton companions M14 Result of completion of T9.1.2 Report, live experiment**

Very sketchy ideas at this point, pending more information and getting hands dirty with ION. Will be pruned and solidified as more information is acquired.

=====Automatic Theatres=====

What:
  * Multiple interacting agents
  * Long term memory and personality based on fictional characters
  * Short term memory based on beginning of play
  * Audience participation

Why:
  * Audience familiar with characters
  * Could form a good benchmark for social interaction
  * How do they resolve interesting social situations
  * Start in the middle of a familiar story?
  * What happens after the story ends?

Further:
  * [[http://www.deadmedia.org/notes/16/169.html|Heron's Nauplius]]
  * Robot Macbeth
  * Robot Soap Operas

=====Alternative affective communication=====

What:
  * Look into alternative methods of communicating affective state to the user
  * Non-vocal sounds
  * Non-literal visuals

Why:
  * Uncanny valley
  * Remove the problem of simulating human expressions
  * The challenge of meeting the robot halfway in mutual understanding might be more engaging
  * Task of deciphering results in more implied/imagined content
  * People work together to try and understand

  * Robot [[http://www.boutiquevizique.com/dustbunnies/index.html|Semaphore]]

=====Modular programmable personalities=====

What:
  * Interface to allow the user to easily build and configure robots
  * At the software level
  * Reconfigurable layer 2 <-> layer 3
  * Need some common goal, or competition

Why:
  * Suspicion that the attachment gained by having a role in the design of a robot is greater than a finely tuned system (or even a system which works)
  * Present the internals of the system to the user in some clear manner
  * Long term attachment through tweakability
