An interdisciplinary overview of current research on imitation in
animals and artifacts. The effort to explain the imitative
abilities of humans and other animals draws on fields as diverse as
animal behavior, artificial intelligence, computer science,
comparative psychology, neuroscience, primatology, and linguistics.
This volume represents a first step toward integrating research
from those studying imitation in humans and other animals, and
those studying imitation through the construction of computer
software and robots. Imitation is of particular importance in
enabling robotic or software agents to share skills without the
intervention of a programmer and in the more general context of
interaction and collaboration between software agents and humans.
Imitation provides a way for the agent-whether biological or
artificial-to establish a "social relationship" and learn about the
demonstrator's actions, in order to include them in its own
behavioral repertoire. Building robots and software agents that can
imitate other artificial or human agents in an appropriate way
involves complex problems of perception, experience, context, and
action, solved in nature in various ways by animals that imitate.
