Hierarchical reactive planning with transions
Mikula, Tomáš ; Bojar, Ondřej (referee) ; Brom, Cyril (advisor)
Hierarchical reactive planning (HRP) is a popular method for controlling virtual beings' behaviour. The advantage of HRP is that complex behaviours can be described relatively easily. However, in particular situations problems with biological plausibility arise. This is partially caused by the fact that so called transition behaviours and postponement of behaviour are hard to express in HRP. Transition behaviours are short actions that the simulated beings should engage in between two main behaviours in order to ensure a smooth transition between them. Postponement of behaviour is desirable in case the running behaviour is approaching the end and therefore should not be interrupted. In the present work we incorporate transition behaviours and postponement of behaviour into the model of HRP and describe the implemented prototype.
Animated works and education
Javora, Ondřej ; Brom, Cyril (advisor) ; KOUTSKÝ, Pavel (referee)
This postgraduate thesis deals with the relationship between animated works and education. Main importance is given to the prior historical trends of educational animated works and to the question if are the animated works suitable for educational purposes. The thesis is divided to four chapters. First chapter depicts the historical development of educational animated works and briefly maps this area of animation. Second chapter analyzes specific characteristics of animation and abilities of its means of expression for educational use. Third chapter is a brief introduction to the cognitive psychology which offers valuable knowledge about functions of human mind. The center of attention is focused on attributes of human memory and process of learning, which are somehow related to the usage of animation. Fourth chapter sort of expands the third chapter and bases its conclusions on the work of American psychologist Richard E. Mayer. The subject matter are more practical ways how to use animation to enhance effective learning.
