Abstract

In this paper, the behavior of a realistically represented intelligent virtual agent (IVA) that accompanies students during their visit to a virtual electrical substation is modeled. The choice of technologies for modeling the agent and the task environment is considered. The properties of the task environment are discussed. The agent’s behavior when a risky situation occurs is investigated. For this purpose, an IVA behavior model, based on psychological theories of motivation, emotions, and power is proposed. A change in the IVA priorities and, as a consequence, a change in its goal is modeled. Results of a survey, studying the trust, which the IVA receives from the students, are presented. To have a more realistic IVA, the model includes knowledge of the environment, the shortest evacuation route learning, visitor training locations, priorities, emotions, social power strategy, set goals, abilities to learn, abilities to change priorities and goals when a risk occurs, and a role of a specialist – electrician.
