title: Towards a Mirror System for the Development of Socially-Mediated Skills creator: Marom, Yuval creator: Maistros, George creator: Hayes, Gillian subject: Machine Learning subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Robotics description: We present a system that attempts to model the functional role of mirror neurons, namely the activation of structures in response to both the observation of a demonstrated task, and its generation. Through social situatedness and a set of innate skills, perceptual and motor structures develop for recognition and reproduction of demonstrated actions. We believe this is an implementation towards a mirror system, and we test it on two platforms, one in simulation involving imitation of object interactions, the second on a physical robot learning from a human to follow walls. publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies contributor: Prince, Christopher G. contributor: Demiris, Yiannis contributor: Marom, Yuval contributor: Kozima, Hideki contributor: Balkenius, Christian date: 2002 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/2518/1/Marom.pdf identifier: Marom, Yuval and Maistros, George and Hayes, Gillian (2002) Towards a Mirror System for the Development of Socially-Mediated Skills.
