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. 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aInformation society 610 $ashared vocabulary 610 $asituated embodied agents 610 $aagent-based models 610 $afuture of artificial intelligence 610 $ahuman-robotic interaction 610 $alanguage in robotics 610 $alanguage evolution 610 $alanguage games 610 $aLexicon 610 $aParis 610 $aSemiotics 610 $aSyntax 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 0$aInformation society. 676 $a401 700 $aSteels$b Luc$0803408 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131283403321 996 $aThe Talking Heads experiment$92005009 997 $aUNINA
