<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Collaboration between humans and robots is rapidly increasing, creating a need for integrative work between engineering and psychology to improve robots' collaborative skills. One
promising approach is to equip robots with cutting-edge cognitive computational models of their human collaborators' decision-making processes. These models would enable robots to account for latent factors guiding human decisions (e.g., beliefs, inferences,
preferences, risk, confidence, caution), during collaborative tasks. This could enhance the efficiency of robots' observational learning and allow them to take actions that support and optimise human decision-making, ultimately improving teamwork and productivity.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The project will be supervised by Dr Milan Andrejevic, a Lecturer in Psychology, and Dikai Liu, a Distinguished Professor in Robotics from the University of Technology Sydney, and
entail a collaboration with Prof. Jakob Hohwy, a Professor in Philosophy from Monash University.</span></p>
