Goal and action inference for helpful robots using self as simulator

(cont.) working model of simulation theory (informed by scientific studies of autism, imitation, and the development of theory of other minds) that is able to infer the intention behind observable action and its effects. This is an important step towards building robots that can begin to understand human behavior in terms of the mental states that generate it, rather than only upon observable surface behavior. This understanding is key for cooperating with robots instead of using them as tools.
