Robots as instrumental functions in the study of bargaining behavior

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Brandstätter, Hermann

Abstract / Description

Experimental studies of Harsanyi-Selten bargaining under uncertainty have been extended to include robots which were based on frequency analysis of the play of student subjects. Logic analysis is employed to measure a second generation of robots based on play among businessmen, university administrators, and first generation robots. These more advanced robots are employed in the study of the implications of the play of human subjects in the extensive form of the game. We have extended the study of the situation defined by Turing in the "imitation game" by adding to the question "is the robot player detectable?" the additional question, "Does the presence of a robot player effect the play of the game?" We have a marginal "no" answer to the first question and a strong "no" answer to the second question. The study of the experimental results is further extended by computer simulation of the play of the second generation robots.
