Abstract
Abstract. Motor control is a complex problem and imitation is a powerful mechanism for acquiring new motor skills. In this paper, we describe perceptuo-motor primitives, a biologically-inspired notion for a basis set of perceptual and motor routines. Primitives serve as a vocabulary for classifying and imitating observed human movements, and are derived from the imitator’s motor repertoire. We describe a model of imitation based on such primitives and demonstrate the feasibility of the model in a constrained implementation. We present approximate motion reconstruction generated from visually captured data of typically imitated tasks taken from aerobics, dancing, and athletics. 1
