This paper introduces a similarity identification method using an Information Distance methodology. We demonstrate th at this method can successfully identify the similarity and synchronic ity of behavior between a human and a robot. We suggest that the application of appropriate binning strategies is the key factor that drives the effect iv ness of this method. Experiments are carried out that initially validate th method on simulated data and then subsequently use real-world imitation game…

Can Real-Time, Adaptive Human–Robot Motor Coordination Improve Humans’ Overall Perception of a Robot?
TLDR
This study supports the hypothesis that bidirectional motor coordination could be a valid approach to facilitate adaptive human-humanoid interaction and suggests that the motor coordination mechanism improved humans' overall perception of the humanoid robot.
The Impact of Participants' Beliefs on Motor Interference and Motor Coordination in Human–Humanoid Interactions
TLDR
It is suggested that a humanoid robot with good overall perception as a “social entity” may facilitate “engaging” interactions with a human.
As Time Goes By: Representing and Reasoning About Timing in Human-Robot Interaction Studies
TLDR
This paper presents a meta-modelling architecture suitable for smart grids that combines 3D image analysis, 3D memory, and 3D signal-to-noise analytics.
An experimental investigation of interference effects in human-humanoid interaction games
TLDR
An experimental investigation concerning movement interference effects between a human and a robot and a measure for behavioural synchrony between human and robot movements based on the concept of information distance found behavioural adaptation of participants' movement timing to the robot's movements.

Robot Imitation from Human Body Movements
TLDR
The approach to robot imitation and experimental results, where a robot is able to imitate the movements of a human demonstrator via its visual observations, are presented.

TLDR
It is suggested that primate intelligence originally evolved to solve social problems, and that it might be a general principle in the evolution of intelligent artefacts, not necessarily restricted to a biological substrate.
Robot Imitation: A Matter of Body Representation
TLDR
An approach to robot imitation based on the body schema and the body percept is presented, gradually expanded by using four developmental stages of imitation on humans as a guideline.
Achieving Corresponding Effects on Multiple Robotic Platforms: Imitating in Context Using Different Effect Metrics
TLDR
JABBERWOCKY is presented, a system that uses captured data from a human demonstrator to generate appropriate action commands, addressing the correspondence problem in imitation.
Joint attention between a humanoid robot and users in imitation game
TLDR
A synthetic model for joint attentions and turn taking by conducting experiments on a simple imitation game showed that multiple movement patterns are generated as synchronized between the robot and users while the shared patterns shift spontaneously from one to another.
Interaction Histories: From Experience to Action and Back Again.
We describe an enactive, situated model of interaction history based around a growing, informationally selfstructured metric space of experience that is constructed and reconstructed as the robot…
The correspondence problem
The identification of any form of social learning, imitation, copying or mimicry presupposes a notion of correspondence between two autonomous agents. Judging whether a behavior has been transmitted…
Behaviour delay and robot expressiveness in child-robot interactions: A user study on interaction kinesics
TLDR
Results of a novel study on interaction kinesics where 18 children interacted with a humanoid child-sized robot called KASPAR show that a delay of the robot's drumming response lead to larger pauses and longer drumming durations for the children and systematic individual differences are observed in regards to the effects on the children's pauses.
Getting to know each other - Artificial social intelligence for autonomous robots
From unknown sensors and actuators to actions grounded in sensorimotor perceptions
TLDR
A developmental system based on information theory implemented on a real robot that learns a model of its own sensory and actuator apparatus and can perform basic visually guided movement.
