INSIDE

Project INSIDE aims at exploring the scientific and technological challenges involved in developing symbiotic human-robot interactions in the context of a physical game involving children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

We investigate how to extend adhoc teamwork and approaches on multiagent planning under uncertainty to cooperative scenarios involving human and robot agents.
