Robot Imitation: A Matter of Body Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two functional elements used by humans to understand and perform actions. These elements are: the body schema and the body percept. The first one is a representation of the body that contains information of the body’s capabilities. The body percept is a snapshot of the body and its relation with the environment at a given instant. These elements are believed to interact between them generating among other abilities, i.e. the ability to imitate. This paper presents an approach to robot imitation based on these two functional elements. Our approach is gradually expanded by using four developmental stages of imitation on humans as a guideline. Keywords—Robot Imitation, Body Representation, Action Representation.

Robot Imitation from Human Body Movements
Imitation represents a useful and promising alternative to programming robots. The approach presented here is based on two functional elements used by humans to understand and perform actions. These elements are: the body schema and the body percept. The first one is a representation of the body containing information of the body’s capabilities. The body percept is a snapshot of the body and it...

متن کاملImitation Behaviour Evaluation in Human Robot Interaction
In this paper, we present an experiment on imitation between a humanoid robot and a human subject. Contrary to many other experiments on imitation, it is not about imitation learning by the robot, but about the robot recognising when the human is imitating its behaviour. We show some first results of correlation measures for different experimental setups and discuss possible ways of representat...
متن کاملInterpersonal Maps: How to Map Affordances for Interaction Behaviour
In a study of how the concept of affordances could be applied to interaction behaviour, we introduce the notion of “interpersonal maps”, a geometrical representation of the relationships between a set of proprioceptive and heteroceptive information sources, thus creating a common representation space for comparing one’s own behaviour and the behaviour of others. Such maps can be used to detect ...
متن کاملDynamic Imitation in a Humanoid Robot through Nonparametric Probabilistic Inference
We tackle the problem of learning imitative wholebody motions in a humanoid robot using probabilistic inference in Bayesian networks. Our inference-based approach affords a straightforward method to exploit rich yet uncertain prior information obtained from human motion capture data. Dynamic imitation implies that the robot must interact with its environment and account for forces such as gravi...
