Strategic Shaping of Human Prosociality: A Latent-State POMDP Framework

RA-L 2026

We propose a decision-theoretic framework in which a robot strategically can shape inferred human's prosocial state during repeated interactions. Modeling the human's prosociality as a latent state that evolves over time, the robot learns to infer and influence this state through its own actions, in

Toward Informed AV Decision-Making: Computational Model of Well-being and Trust in Mobility

IJCAI 2025

For future human-autonomous vehicle (AV) interactions to be effective and smooth, human-aware systems that analyze and align human needs with automation decisions are essential. Achieving this requires systems that account for human cognitive states. We present a novel computational model in the for

‘Why Didn’t You Allocate This Task to Them?’ Negotiation-Aware Task Allocation and Contrastive Explanation Generation

AAAI 2024technical

In this work, we design an Artificially Intelligent Task Allocator (AITA) that proposes a task allocation for a team of humans. A key property of this allocation is that when an agent with imperfect knowledge (about their teammate's costs and/or the team's performance metric) contests the allocation…
