SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CURIOUSITY DEVELOPMENT IN AGENTS

Abstract:

Systems and methods for incorporating latent states into robotic planning are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying an agent team including at least one robotic agent and at least one human agent. The method also includes receiving sensor data associated with relative physical parameters between the at least one robotic agent and the at least one human agent. The method further includes modeling the latent states of the at least one human agent as a behavior model. The latent states describe cognition of the at least one human agent. The method includes calculating a first belief state based on the relative physical parameters and the behavior model. The method yet further includes predicting future probabilities of future observations at a second the future probabilities.
