Welcome to ToMCAT
=================

Current state-of-the art approaches to designing artificially intelligent (AI)
teammates address some of the capabilities that they must have, including
inferring the internal states of other agents solving problems collaboratively
with them, and communicating with them in a socially-aware manner.  To be a
truly effective teammate, an AI agent must possess *all* of these capabilities,
but no current approach combines them. To address this, we propose a *Theory
of Mind-based Cognitive Architecture for Teams (ToMCAT)* with these
capabilities.

ToMCAT will be tested in the virtual environment of Minecraft alongside human
players. ToMCAT is comprised of a set of *local* agents (one for each human
teammate) equipped with cameras and microphones to capture facial expressions
and speech, as well as *virtual* sensors that record the local environment, the
actions performed by human teammates, and chat exchanges between them. The
local agents communicate with their respective humans, as well as with a
*global* agent that performs coordination and global team optimization.

This site contains documentation and resources on the overall project, as well
as the C++ API and links to the Java API and other ToMCAT components.

The ToMCAT project is funded by a 4.5 year, $7.5M DARPA grant as part of the Artificial
Social Intelligence for Successful Teams (ASIST) program.

The images below show a few example screenshots from our inaugural 'mission',
the Zombie Invasion.
