This thesis presents a novel method for ensuring cooperation between humans and robots in public spaces, under the constraint of human behavior uncertainty. The thesis introduces a hierarchical and flexible framework based on POMDPs. The framework partitions the overall joint activity into independent planning modules, each dealing with a specific aspect of the joint activity: either ensuring the human-robot cooperation, or proceeding with the task to achieve. The cooperation part can be solved independently from the task and executed as a finite state machine in order to contain online planning effort. In order to do so, we introduce a belief shift function and describe how to use it to transform a POMDP policy into an executable finite st...
