Virtual environments are widely utilized tools for the development of medical, industrial, educational, and entertainment training systems, among others. Technological advancements enable virtual environments to be realistic, allowing user interaction for task adaptation or improvement. Artificial intelligence proposes the creation of autonomous entities capable of accompanying users by interacting with them to achieve objectives. Hence, the development of autonomous systems that can effectively interact and adapt to users and their environment, exhibiting realistic behavior similar to the real world. In this article, a methodology is proposed for implementing autonomous behaviors in virtual entities (virtual environments) based on a combination of artificial intelligence and steering flows. The goal is to exhibit behaviors during the evacuation of high-risk zones, allowing anticipation of potential contingencies and enabling humans to respond appropriately in such situations. The results obtained using the proposed methodology demonstrate desired behaviors in confined space evacuation, as well as different types of formations that are challenging to handle using steering techniques.References
