Abstract
Deception is utilized by a variety of intelligent systems ranging from insects to human beings. It has been
argued that the use of deception is an indicator of theory of mind [2] and of social intelligence [4]. We
use interdependence theory and game theory to explore the phenomena of deception from the perspective
of robotics, and to develop an algorithm which allows an artificially intelligent system to determine if
deception is warranted in a social situation. Using techniques introduced in [1], we present an algorithm
that bases a robot’s deceptive action selection on its model of the individual it’s attempting to deceive.
Simulation and robot experiments using these algorithms which investigate the nature of deception itself
are discussed.
