[Legacy Report] Distinguished Lecture by Prof. Ronald C. Arkin "Robots that Need to Mislead: Biologically-inspired Machine Deception"

#Robot #Machine #Deception

Expanding our work in understanding the relationships maintained in teams of humans and robots, this talk describes previous and ongoing research for ONR on deception and its application within robotic systems. Earlier we explored the use of psychological interdependence theory as the basis for producing deceit in robotic systems in order to evade capture. More recent work involves studying squirrel hoarding and bird mobbing behavior as it applies to deception, in the first case for misleading a predator, and in the second for feigning strength when none exists. Results are presented from these biological models in both simulation and robotic systems, as well as consideration of the ethical implications of this research.
