Virtual Synergy is a three-dimensional environment for collaboration between humans, software agents and robots. We have created several tools to enable the use of Virtual Synergy as a viable tool for classroom instruction as well as research work. We have created software to enable robots to work inside of a three-dimensional environment of Virtual Synergy as well as libraries for agent creation in several languages and agents necessary for making Virtual Synergy a practical tool for artificial intelligence and robotics education inside and outside of the classroom.
