“…A common pattern is that unless the behavior is very obviously deceptive, users tend to perceive being deceived as unintentional: an error on the side of the robot [23,28,32]. In a taxonomy of robot deception, Shim et al [27] associate physical deception with unintentional, and behavioral deception with intentional.…”

“…And, if so, what implications does this have on how they perceive the robot? Literature on the ethics of deception cautions about a drop in trust [2,20], while work investigating games with cheating robots measures an increase in engagement [28,32]. We use these as part of our dependent measures in the study.…”

“…At its core, deception conveys intentionality [31], and that the robot has a theory of mind for the deceived [4] which it can use to manipulate their beliefs. It makes interactions with robots more engaging, particularly during game scenarios [28,31,32].…”

Abstract-Much robotics research explores how robots can clearly communicate true information. Here, we focus on the counterpart: communicating false information, or hiding information altogether -in one word, deception. Robot deception is useful in conveying intentionality, and in making games against the robot more engaging. We study robot deception in goal-directed motion, in which the robot is concealing its actual goal. We present an analysis of deceptive motion, starting with how humans would deceive, moving to a mathematical model that enables the robot to autonomously generate deceptive motion, and ending with a study on the implications of deceptive motion for humanrobot interactions.

“…Work at Yale University (Short, Hart, Vu, & Scassellati, 2010) illustrated increased engagement with a cheating robot in the context of a rock-paper-scissor game, demonstrating greater attribution of mental state to the robot by the human players when participants played against a cheating robot. At Carnegie Mellon University (Vazquez, May, Steinfeld, & Chen, 2011) a study showed an increase of user's engagement and enjoyment in a multi-player robotic game in the presence of a deceptive referee. By declaring false information to game players about how much players win or lose, they observed whether this behavior affects a human's general motivation and interest based on the frequency of winning, duration of playing, etc.…”

A common behavior in animals and human beings is deception. Deceptive behavior in robotics is potentially beneficial in several domains ranging from the military to a more everyday context. In our research, novel algorithms were developed for the deceptive behavior of a robot, inspired by the observed deceptive behavior of squirrels for cache protection strategies, then evaluating the results via simulation studies. In this paper, we present this bioinspired algorithm for robot deception and observe whether the algorithm is truly applicable in actual robot systems.

Abstract.A common behavior in animals or human beings is deception. We focus on deceptive behavior in robotics because the appropriate use of deception is beneficial in several domains ranging from the military to a more everyday context. In this research, novel algorithms are developed for the deceptive behavior of a robot, inspired by the observed deceptive behavior of squirrels for cache protection strategies, evaluating the results via simulation studies.
