N2 - DramaBot, a platform for implementing drama techniques using robot actor that support the learning and teaching of non-technical school subjects, is presented. This platform provides non-programmer students and teachers with an easy-to-use programming environment that allows the intuitive creation of theatrical scripts for robot actors. Additionally, DramaBot enriches the script performance by adding an emotional interpretation of the defined users’ actions and by also producing emergent emotional and life-like behaviors. The design of the architecture of DramaBot is based on multi-agent system (MAS) approach. The Agent-Oriented Programming based on Organizational Approach methodology (AOPOA) is used to design the multi-agent system of DramaBot architecture. After applying the AOPOA methodology, it was found that DramaBot has three main types of agents: Script Agent, Director Agent, and Actor Agent. The Actor Agent is mapped to be implemented a Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture that includes four subsystems: belief, cooperation, motivation, and action subsystems. In this paper, the agent design process and the Actor Agent architecture are presented.
