Human-Aware Planning: A Survey Related to Joint Human-Agent Activities

  • Conference paper

Part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing book series (AISC,volume 293)

Abstract

To become a part of a joint human-agent team, artificial agent are required to achieve joint goals with humans not only performing task for humans. This includes the ability to coordinate actions between team-members, which is e.g. addressed by Human-Aware Planning approaches. This work surveys available solutions regarding the special requirements identified for joint human-agent activities. In particular, the work concentrates on the requirement of interpredictability, which requires to include the course of actions of other team-members into the planning process of one’s own course of action.
