Human-Aware AI

The goal for Human-Aware AI is to develop intelligent systems that can work in synergy with human partners in complex dynamic environments. 

When intelligent systems are human aware, this means that the system adapts to the task of the human partner in its variations, the situation in its dynamics and uncertainty and the cognitive state of the human partner in-the-loop.

In our research group, dynamic mental models are developed (partly with cognitive architectures) that can, for example, anticipate the human in the interaction or identify intentions of the human partner. These modeling approaches are integrated with systems (e.g. robots) or simulations to enable relevant mutual understanding and proactive support.

The goal of such systems is to leave the control – on a macro level - with the human, while the human experiences adapted support for his and her goals.

 
 
 

Research Interests

  • Complex cognition in applied dynamic situations

  • Cognitive Modelling (Cognitive Architectures)

  • Huma Robot Collaboration

  • Mental models for dynamic Interaction

  • Models for emergent behavior

  • Agency and sense of Control

  • Embodied Cognition

  • Integration of symbolic and subsymbolic computation

 

 

Current Projects

COMPAS II (Computational Cognitive Modeling of the Predictive Active Self in Situated Action)

The interdisciplinary project aims at modeling the role of the active self in the context of situated real-time interaction in a dynamic/spatial environment. In collaboration with Prof. Stefan Kopp (University of Bielefeld), funded by the DFG SPP 2134 "The Active Self".

Neuroadaptive kognitive Modelle

Neuroadaptive cognitive models are being investigated together with Oliver Klaproth and in cooperation with Airbus, Airbus Defence & Space and Zander Laboratories. The goal of the project is to explore means for early detection of potentially safety-critical pilot behavior in flight.
