How to ground it?
6
Limitations in imitation systems

• No synchronisation capabilities between agents
• Need of an explicit reward or adhoc mechanism to
  decide if given sequence must be learned
• Need of an explicit signal to specify the
  beginning and the end of the expriment

7
Imitation and social interactions
8
Double function of emotions

• Meta control (or second order controller)
• Communication tool
• (in a single system!)
• gt Capability to predict the rhythm of the
  exchange can be used as an internal reward

Implications for robotics
17
Emotional value of interactions

• Emotional resonance or contagion (bootstrap
  empathy)
• Capability to predict the rhythm of the
  interaction (associated to a positive reward for
  ex.)
• Imitation games (sharing emotions?)
