Automatic Imitation Book brings together leading researchers from various domains to provide readers with a recent overview of developments in automatic imitation research.

ChatGPT says I coined the term ‘automatic imitation’. I'm not sure that's true, but this book is a fine survey of the state of the art. Open access. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Finally, the hard copy version of the book on automatic imitation, @craccoemiel.bsky.social and I edited, has arrived. We're glad the book is also available as open access via the following link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
