A key challenge in multi-agent systems is the design of intelligent agents solving real-world tasks in close interaction with other agents (e.g. humans), thereby being confronted with a variety of behavioral variations and limited knowledge about the true behaviors of observed agents. The practicability of existing works addressing this challenge is being limited due to using finite sets of hypothesis for behavior prediction, the lack of a hypothesis design process ensuring coverage over all behavioral variations and sample-inefficiency when modeling continuous behavioral variations. In this work, we present an approach to this challenge based on a new framework of Robust Stochastic Bayesian Games (RSBGs). An RSBG defines hypothesis sets by partitioning the physically feasible, continuous behavior space of the other agents. It combines the optimality criteria of the Robust Markov Decision Process (RMDP) and the Stochastic Bayesian Game (SBG) to exponentially reduce the sample complexity for planning with hypothesis sets defined over continuous behavior spaces. Our approach outperforms the baseline algorithms in two experiments modeling time-varying intents and large multidimensional behavior spaces, while achieving the same performance as a planner with knowledge of the true behaviors of other agents.
