Theory of Mind Using Active Inference: A Framework for Multi-Agent Cooperation

Riddhi J. Pitliya, Ozan Çatal, Toon Van de Maele +2

Theory of Mind (ToM) -- the ability to understand that others can have differing knowledge and goals -- enables agents to reason about others' beliefs while planning their own acti…

Mobile Manipulation with Active Inference for Long-Horizon Rearrangement Tasks

Corrado Pezzato, Ozan Çatal, Toon Van de Maele +2

Despite growing interest in active inference for robotic control, its application to complex, long-horizon tasks remains untested. We address this gap by introducing a fully hierar…
