Interactive Reasoning

Robots are the bridge to connect artificial intelligence systems and the physical world. Currently, most robots rely on prior knowledge provided by humans, making it hard to explore unknown spaces with unforeseen interactions. Understanding how robots interpret phenomena when interacting with the world will be the key to solving interactive reasoning problems. We explore the intersection of robotics, cognitive reasoning, and human-robot teaming to discover how robots can gain knowledge from interactions with the physical world, how to make task plans to work cooperatively with humans, and how human inner thinking will affect decision-making.
