The agents could teleport to different physical sites in the world through the Internet. Sites, in Antwerp, Brussels, Paris, Tokyo, London, Cambridge and several other locations were linked into the network. Humans could interact with the robotic agents either on site or remotely through the Internet and thus influence the evolving ontologies and languages of the artificial agents. The present book describes in detail the motivation, the cognitive mechanisms used by the agents, the various installations of the Talking Heads, the experimental results that were obtained, and the interaction with humans. It also provides a perspective on what happened in the field after these initial groundbreaking experiments. The book is invaluable reading for anyone interested in the history of agent-based models of language evolution and the future of Artificial Intelligence.Information technologyInformation societyshared vocabularysituated embodied agentsagent-based modelsfuture of artificial intelligencehuman-robotic interactionlanguage in roboticslanguage evolutionlanguage gamesLexiconParisSemioticsSyntaxInformation technology.Information society.401Steels Luc803408WaSeSSWaSeSSUkMaJRUBOOK9910131283403321The Talking Heads experiment2005009UNINA
