Stanford researchers from the Stanford Center for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and Virginia Tech researchers have developed a novel way for robots to plot out the next moves of other autonomous entities using a concept called "latent intent" or "LILI"-Learning and Influencing Latent Intent. LILI focuses on a much smaller and simpler set of strategies, allowing the robot to learn which move will come next and then anticipate how its own behavior will affect the other's strategy -- actively influencing the other agent in a process of give-and-take co-adaptation.
