Other-oriented robot deception: A computational approach for deceptive action generation to benefit the mark

Abstract

Social robots can benefit by adding deceptive capabilities. In particular, robotic deception should benefit the deceived human partners when used in the context of human-robot interaction (HRI). We define this kind of robotic deception as a robot's other-oriented deception and aim to add these capabilities to the robotic systems. Toward that end, we develop a computational model inspired by criminological definition of deception. In this paper, we establish a definition of other-oriented robotic deception in HRI and present a novel model that can enable a humanoid robot to autonomously generate other-oriented deceptive actions during the interaction.
