Abstract
Imitation is a powerful mechanism whereby knowledge may be transferred between agents (both biological and artificial). A crucial problem in imitation is the correspondence problem, mapping action sequences of the model and the imitator agent. This problem becomes particularly obvious when the two agents do not share the same embodiment and affordances. This paper describes work with our general imitation mechanism called ALICE (Action Learning for Imitation via Correspondence between Embodiments) that specifically addresses the correspondence problem. The mechanism has been implemented in two different software test-beds. The previous implementation, chessworld, is briefly summarised and the current robotic arm manipulator implementation is presented in this paper.
