When the robot puts itself in your shoes. Managing and exploiting human and robot beliefs

We have designed and implemented new spatio-temporal reasoning skills for a cognitive robot, which explicitly reasons about human beliefs on object positions. It enables the robot to build symbolic models reflecting each agent´s perspective on the world. Using these models, the robot has a better understanding of what humans say and do, and is able to reason on what human should know to achieve a given goal. These new capabilities are also demonstrated experimentally.
