Model Analysis of Human Group Behavior Strategy using Cooperative Agents

Abstract

Flexible and cooperative human group behavior are realized by changing our intentions and behaviors based on dynamic estimation of other participants ’intention, and also adjustment of self and others’intention. We analyze human small group behavior using cooperative pattern task in 2D grid world to clarify an individual action selection process including inference of others ’intention and adjustment of intention among participants. In previous research, we have constructed behavior strategy models based on the human behavioral experiments, implemented the models to cooperative agents, and confirmed the goal achievement in almost the same steps to humans in the agent simulations. In this research, we analyze combinations of human behavior strategies realizing group behavior by comparing agent behavior to subjects behavior.
