About

Lasse Dissing is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, logic, and cognitive robotics, whose work centers on equipping autonomous systems with Theory of Mind (ToM). His primary research areas include dynamic epistemic logic (DEL), epistemic planning, and human-robot collaboration. Dissing’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that DEL—a formal framework for reasoning about knowledge and belief change—can be practically implemented to enable robots to model the mental states of others, including the capacity to handle false-belief tasks of arbitrary order. His 2020 paper, "Implementing Theory of Mind on a Robot Using Dynamic Epistemic Logic" (36 citations), is a foundational work that bridges theoretical logic and embodied AI. Building on this, his 2021 study, "DEL-based Epistemic Planning for Human-Robot Collaboration" (15 citations), provides both a theoretical foundation and a concrete implementation for robots to reason and plan from the perspective of human collaborators. Dissing’s research is notable for translating complex logical formalisms into operational robotic systems, offering a principled path toward more intuitive and socially aware AI. His work is highly influential for students and researchers in AI, robotics, and logic, showcasing how formal epistemology can drive practical advances in autonomous agents.
