Abstract-- In this paper, we describe a framework for autonomous decision making in a dynamic and interactive environment based on cognitive hierarchy theory. We model the in - teractions between the ego agent and its operating environm ent as a two-player dynamic game, and integrate cognitive behav - ioral models, Bayesian inference, and receding-horizon op timal control to define a dynamically-evolving decision strategy for the ego agent. Simulation examples representing autonomou s vehicle control in three traffic scenarios where the autonom ous ego vehicle interacts with a human-driven vehicle are repor ted. Autonomous systems are becoming more capable, better accepted, and more commonplace. Many autonomous systems, including collaborative robots [1] and self-driv ing cars [2], operate in dynamic and interactive environments.
