The Handbook on Socially Interactive Agents provides a
comprehensive overview of the research fields of Embodied
Conversational Agents, Intelligent Virtual Agents, and Social
Robotics. Socially Interactive Agents (SIAs), whether virtually or
physically embodied, are autonomous agents that are able to
perceive an environment including people or other agents, reason,
decide how to interact, and express attitudes such as emotions,
engagement, or empathy. They are capable of interacting with people
and one another in a socially intelligent manner using multimodal
communicative behaviors, with the goal to support humans in various
domains. Written by international experts in their respective
fields, the book summarizes research in the many important research
communities pertinent for SIAs, while discussing current challenges
and future directions. The handbook provides easy access to
modeling and studying SIAs for researchers and students, and aims
at further bridging the gap between the research communities
involved. In two volumes, the book clearly structures the vast body
of research. The first volume starts by introducing what is
involved in SIAs research, in particular research methodologies and
ethical implications of developing SIAs. It further examines
research on appearance and behavior, focusing on multimodality.
Finally, social cognition for SIAs is investigated using different
theoretical models and phenomena such as theory of mind or
pro-sociality. The second volume starts with perspectives on
interaction, examined from different angles such as interaction in
social space, group interaction, or long-term interaction. It also
includes an extensive overview summarizing research and systems of
human-agent platforms and of some of the major application areas of
SIAs such as education, aging support, autism, and games.
