Abstract

This work presents a control and learning architecturefor humanoid robots designed for acquiring movementskills in the context of imitation learning.Multiple levels ofmovement abstraction occur across the hierarchical structureof the architecture, finally leading to the representationof movement sequences within a probabilistic framework.As its substrate, the framework uses the notion of visuo-motor primitives, modules capable of recognizing as well as executing similar movements.This notion is heavily motivated by the neuroscience evidence for motor primitives and mirror neurons. Experimental results from an implementation of the architecture are presented involving learning and representation of demonstrated movement sequences from synthetic as well as real human movement data.
