(2007) : The question of ’what to imitate’: Inferring goals and intentions from demonstrations In: Nehaniv, Chrystopher L.; Dautenhahn, Kerstin (Hg.): Imitation and social learning in robots, humans and animals: Behavioural, social and communicative dimensions: New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, S. 135-151
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511489808.011 Abstract: A difficult issue for robotics researchers is the question of what to imitate, that is, which aspects of a demonstration robots should copy. Sometimes it is appropriate to copy others’ actions, sometimes it is appropriate to copy others’ results and sometimes copying both or even neither of these is the most appropriate response. The chapter discusses the advantages of using an understanding of others’ goals and intentions to answer this question, copying what the demonstrator intended to do rather than what he actually did. Whereas some animals focus mainly on demonstrators’ results or actions, one-year-old human infants appear to use an understanding of others’ goals to decide what to imitate. The authors identify some specific ways in which infants can infer the goal of a demonstrator in imitation situations, using such information as the demonstrators’ gaze direction, emotional expressions, actions and the context. This is followed by a brief review of what robots currently can do in this regard, proposing some further challenges for them. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
