Design
Overview

 

In this project, we designed the interaction between a human and a computer agent. The agent would perform specific tasks. These tasks include: monitoring user behavior, learning general patterns by drawing inferences from user behavior, engaging users in communication, and taking autonomous action. We designed a human-agent interaction for the Smart Home for college students. Our goal of this design was to improve the living environment of housemates by creating an agent that would help make it easier to share the living space with multiple people.
