The effort to explain the imitative abilities of humans and other animals draws on
fields as diverse as animal behavior, artificial intelligence, computer science, comparative
psychology, neuroscience, primatology, and linguistics. This volume represents a first step toward
integrating research from those studying imitation in humans and other animals, and those studying
imitation through the construction of computer software and robots.

Imitation is
of particular importance in enabling robotic or software agents to share skills without the
intervention of a programmer and in the more general context of interaction and collaboration
between software agents and humans. Imitation provides a way for the agent -- whether biological or
artificial -- to establish a "social relationship" and learn about the demonstrator's
actions, in order to include them in its own behavioral repertoire. Building robots and software
agents that can imitate other artificial or human agents in an appropriate way involves complex
problems of perception, experience, context, and action, solved in nature in various ways by animals
that imitate.
