Imitation learning techniques aim to mimic human behavior in a given task. An agent (a
learning machine) is trained to perform a task from demonstrations by learning a mapping …

As the field of robotics is expanding from the fixed environment of a production line to
complex human environments, robots are required to perform increasingly human-like …

Unlike any other species, humans can learn and use language. This book explains how the
brain evolved to make language possible, through what Michael Arbib calls the Mirror …

This overview presents computational algorithms for generating 3D object grasps with
autonomous multi-fingered robotic hands. Robotic grasping has been an active research …

Robot PbD started about 30 years ago, growing importantly during the past decade. The
rationale for moving from purely preprogrammed robots to very flexible user-based …

Existing evidence indicates that mu and other alpha-like rhythms are independent
phenomena because of differences in source generation, sensitivity to sensory events …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are largely characterized by deficits in imitation, pragmatic
language, theory of mind, and empathy. Previous research has suggested that a …

The article analyzes the neural and functional grounding of language skills as well as their
emergence in hominid evolution, hypothesizing stages leading from abilities known to exist …

An argument that challenges the dominant" theory theory" and simulation theory approaches
to folk psychology by claiming that our everyday understanding of intentional actions done …

A comprehensive introduction to new approaches in artificial intelligence and robotics that
are inspired by self-organizing biological processes and structures. New approaches to …
