Abstract

A key factor of success for future social robotics entities is going to be their ability to operate in tight collaboration with non-expert human users in open environments. Apart from physical skills, these entities will have to exhibit intelligent behavior, in order both to understand the dynamics of the domain they inhabit and to interpret human intuition and needs. In this paper, we discuss work in progress towards developing a formal framework for endowing intelligent autonomous agents with advanced cognitive skills, central to human-machine interaction, such as Theory of Mind. We argue that this line of work can lay the ground for both theoretical and practical research, and present a number of areas, where such a framework can achieve essential impact for future social and intelligent systems.
