A Cognitive Framework for Learning by Imitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to have a robotic system able to effectively learn by imitation, and not merely reproduce the movements of a human teacher, the system should have the capabilities of deeply understanding the perceived actions to be imitated. This paper deals with the development of a cognitive framework for learning by imitation in which a rich conceptual representation of the observed actions is built. The proposed architecture has been tested on the robotic system composed of a PUMA 200 industrial manipulator and an anthropomorphic robotic hand. The system demonstrated the ability to classify and imitate a rich set of movement primitives acquired through the vision system for simple manipulative purposes.

A Cognitive Model of Imitative Development in Humans and Machines
Several algorithms and models have recently been proposed for imitation learning in humans and robots. However, few proposals offer a framework for imitation learning in noisy stochastic environments where the imitator must learn and act under real-time performance constraints. We present a novel probabilistic framework for imitation learning in stochastic environments with unreliable sensors. ...

Imitation offers a powerful mechanism for knowledge acquisition, particularly for intelligent agents (like infants) that lack the ability to transfer knowledge using language. Several algorithms and models have recently been proposed for imitation learning in humans and robots. However, few proposals offer a framework for imitation learning in noisy stochastic environments where the imitator mu...

متن کاملToward a Case-Based Framework for Imitation Learning in Robotic Agents
Imitation learning is a skill essential to human development and cognition [6, 5]. Naturally, imitation learning has become a topic of focus for robotics research as well, particularly in interactive robots [1, 2]. In imitating the actions of a teacher, a cognitive agent learns the demonstrated action such that it may perform a similar action later and achieve a similar goal. Thus, we expect th...
متن کامل23 Imitation : Social , Cognitive , andTheoretical Perspectives
Human beings are the most imitative creatures in the animal kingdom. Imitation has both cognitive and social aspects and is a powerful mechanism for learning about and from people. Imitation raises theoretical questions about perception-action coupling, memory, representation, social cognition, and social affinities toward others "like me." Childhood imitation is attracting attention both withi...
