Too Many Specialists: Emergent Inefficiencies and Bottlenecks for Multi-agent Ad-hoc Collaboration
Benjamin Panny, Shashank Mehrotra, Zahra Zahedi +2
Computational models of collaboration without prior coordination often overlook how heterogeneous agent traits and complex task structures jointly produce systemic bottlenecks, ine…
Strategic Shaping of Human Prosociality: A Latent-State POMDP Framework
Zahra Zahedi, Xinyue Hu, Shashank Mehrotra +2
We propose a decision-theoretic framework in which a robot strategically can shape inferred human's prosocial state during repeated interactions. Modeling the human's prosociality…
Exploring The Impact Of Proactive Generative AI Agent Roles In Time-Sensitive Collaborative Problem-Solving Tasks
Anirban Mukhopadhyay, Kevin Salubre, Hifza Javed +2
Collaborative problem-solving under time pressure is common but difficult, as teams must generate ideas quickly, coordinate actions, and track progress. Generative AI offers new op…
Toward Informed AV Decision-Making: Computational Model of Well-being and Trust in Mobility
Zahra Zahedi, Shashank Mehrotra, Teruhisa Misu +1
For future human-autonomous vehicle (AV) interactions to be effective and smooth, human-aware systems that analyze and align human needs with automation decisions are essential. Ac…
