A Neural Structure for Learning by Imitation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 1674))

Abstract

In this paper, we present a neural architecture for a mobile robot in order to learn how to imitate a sequence of actions. We show that the use of a representation of the information in a continuous and dynamic way is necessary and the use of the neural fields can be a good solution to control the dynamic of several degrees of freedom with a single internal representation.
