Figure 2. Overview of the experiments showing imitation learning and partner’s recognition during interaction between a robot and a partner.

The current experiments used the same learning architecture and varied the learning context: (Experiment 1, top) posture imitation between the robot Nao and human partners; (Experiment 2, middle) facial imitation between Robot Head and human partners; (Experiment 3, lower) posture imitation between the robot Nao and avatars partners.
