This talk examines practical methods for shared decision making in human-robot teams, highlighting recent work which applies methods from artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science. The notion of shared decision making implies that the actors involved have a means to communicate their beliefs and can negotiate in case of conflict. A range of methods are applicable for resolving conflict, and the work discussed in this talk highlights techniques that stem from the multi-agent systems (MAS) community, including voting, market-based mechanisms and computational argumentation. Emphasis is on practical methods that have been implemented and tested on robots, including those that have been evaluated with human participants.
