Body motion is an important aspect in human-robot interactions. Giving robots the ability to imitate human motion
can be beneficial for research on robot motion in a variety of applications. Furthermore, such a human-robot
imitation system has the potential to provide a platform to investigate the facilitation of different types of trust in
human-robot interactions. The goal of this paper is to describe the framework of a human-robot imitation system
and investigate the system requirements imposed by different interaction settings. Several applications of imitation
systems are discussed, along with their important characteristics and required features. Furthermore, open challenges
for designing and developing human-robot imitation systems are discussed.
