Abstract
This paper explores the use of an outcome matrix as a
computational representation of social interaction suitable for
implementation on a robot. An outcome matrix expresses the
reward afforded to each interacting individual with respect to
pairs of potential behaviors. We detail the use of the outcome
matrix as a representation of interaction in social psychology and
game theory, discuss the need for modeling the robot’s interactive
partner, and contribute an algorithm for creating outcome matrices
from perceptual information. Experimental results explore the use
of the algorithm with different types of partners and in different
environments.
