Summary
Researchers developed a two-level architecture inspired by the Mirror Neuron System for motor primitive discovery and online phase recognition in the NICO humanoid robot. This approach uses Self-Organising Maps to learn topographic representations of arm kinematics for improved action recognition.

What happened
Understanding the computational basis of action recognition is a central challenge in social cognition as well as in human-robot interaction. Inspired by the Mirror Neuron System (MNS), we propose a two-level architecture for motor primitive discovery and online phase recognition applied to the NICO humanoid...
