Thierry Chaminade From Mirror Neurons to Social Resonance Between Humans and Humanoids As humanoid robots are likely to become present in our societies, it is important to understand humans' reactions to these agents and to develop neuromimetic models for robots' control to optimize their social competence. Motor resonance is an emerging framework based the overlap between neural processes involved in the execution and the perception of human actions, best illustrated by the properties of mirror neurons discovered in the macaque monkey. This talk will introduce several lines of research that have used motor resonance to investigate human-robot interactions. In a series of studies we used behavioral and neuroimaging markers of resonance to investigate how humanoid and android robots are perceived by humans. Another study demonstrated that a simple form of imitation can emerge in a simple robotic system controlled with an association network reproducing motor resonance. These applications of motor resonance to the study and the implementation of human-robot interactions provide a neuromimetic framework for developments in humanoid robotics.
