In particular, it is one of the bases allowing robust interactions in imitation, thanks to its two linked aspects, i.e., communication and learning. In this article, we propose a simple model based on the interaction of two neural oscillators inhibiting each other which explain how 'turn-taking' may emerge dynamically between two agents. An implementation of the model on a simple robotic platform made of one CCD camera and one simple arm (ADRIANA platform) is detailed. Results showing the emergence of a 'turn-taking' dynamics on this platform are discussed and an extension in simulation for a larger scale of parameters in order to validate robustness is given.", pages = "1709-1723(15)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/arb/2007/00000021/00000015/art00003" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855307782506192" }
