This review article provides an overview of papers that have studied body movement mirroring and synchrony within the field of human-robot interaction. The papers included in this review cover system studies, which focus on evaluating the technical aspects of mirroring and synchrony robotic systems, and user studies, which focus on measuring particular interaction outcomes or attitudes towards robots expressing mirroring and synchrony behaviors. We review the papers in terms of the employed robotic platforms and the focus on parts of the body, the techniques used to sense and react to human motion, the evaluation methods, the intended applications of the human-robot interaction systems and the scenarios utilized in user studies. Finally, challenges and possible future directions are considered and discussed
