It is a formidable issue how robots can show the behaviors corresponding to human's ones since the dissimilar body. As a simple case for such correspondence problem, this paper presents a robot that acquires vowels through the interaction with its caregiver. We focus on the roles of maternal imitation since it could instruct the correspondence of the sounds. Furthermore, we suppose that it causes "unconscious anchoring" in which the caregiver's imitated voice is performed unconsciously, closely to one of his/her own vowels, and helps to leading robot's utterances to be more vowel-like. We experimented under the assumptions in which the robot knows the caregiver's vowels and the rough estimate of mapping between the caregiver's utterance and the robot's one. Though the experiments with a caregiver, we show that a robot acquires more vowel-like utterances than one without such a caregiver even when it is given different types of mapping functions.
