This work proposes an agent grounded in the Free Energy Principle that synchronizes intentions with humans through physical interaction. Using a predictive coding-based recurrent neural network (RNN), the agent dynamically updates its internal states and temporal scales to minimize prediction errors, enabling real-time synchronization with human movements.

SIGGRAPH is an international conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques.
