这项研究旨在研究儿童是否能够模仿机器人的目标导向动作。儿童（24-35个月）观看了显示机器人试图操纵物体的视频（例如，将珠子放入杯子中）但未能实现其目标（例如，珠子掉到杯子外面）。在一段视频中，机器人在失败之前和之后与人类进行了眼神交流。在另一段视频中，机器人没有与人类成年人进行眼神交流。只有在前一种情况下，孩子们才会“模仿”机器人“预期的”但未完成的动作（例如，把珠子放在杯子里）。当机器人没有眼神交流时，孩子们的表现很差，处于基线水平。这些结果表明，类似人类的凝视行为，而不是类似人类的形态，可能在幼儿模仿非人类代理的目标导向行为中发挥重要作用。
This study examined whether young children are able to imitate a robot's goal-directed actions. Children (24-35 months old) viewed videos showing a robot attempting to manipulate an object (e.g., putting beads inside a cup) but failing to achieve its goal (e.g., beads fell outside the cup). In 1 video, the robot made eye contact with a human before and after it failed the action. In another video, the robot did not make eye contact with the human adult. Only in the former condition did children "imitate" the robot's "intended" but unconsummated actions (e.g., putting beads inside a cup). When the robot did not make eye contact, children performed poorly, at the baseline level. These results suggest that human-like gaze behaviors, not human-like morphology, may play an important role in young children's imitation of a nonhuman agent's goal-directed behaviors.
