Bringing Bots To Life With Artificial Intelligence - TOPBOTS

Any video gamer knows how boring NPCs (non-playable characters) in digital worlds are. Their behavior is simple and predictable and their words entirely scripted by a staff of writers. This makes them uninteresting opponents and unsatisfying companions. We're far more likely to emotionally attach to lifelike characters, like the emo robot sidekicks in the Star Wars franchise, but crafting believable, autonomous entities you can actually interact with is no easy feat. Character models built by artificial intelligence aim to escape the uncanny valley and imbue inanimate objects and digital characters with an aura of realism and life.
