Journal ArticleDOI
On Learning, Representing, and Generalizing a Task in a Humanoid Robot
TL;DR: A programming-by-demonstration framework for generically extracting the relevant features of a given task and for addressing the problem of generalizing the acquired knowledge to different contexts is presented.
Book
Robot Programming by Demonstration
TL;DR: Programming by demonstration (PbD) as discussed by the authors is a technique for teaching new skills to a robot by imitation, tutelage, or apprenticeship learning through human guidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning and Reproduction of Gestures by Imitation
TL;DR: An approach based on HMM, GMR, and dynamical systems to allow robots to acquire new skills by imitation was presented and evaluated and applications on different kinds of robots were presented to highlight the flexibility of the proposed approach.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Incremental learning of gestures by imitation in a humanoid robot
Sylvain Calinon,Aude Billard +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the essential characteristics of a gesture can be efficiently transferred by interacting socially with the robot by using active teaching methods that puts the human teacher “in the loop” of the robot's learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tutorial on task-parameterized movement learning and retrieval
TL;DR: This tutorial aims at reviewing existing approaches for task-adaptive motion encoding and narrows down the scope to the special case of task parameters that take the form of frames of reference, coordinate systems or basis functions, which are most commonly encountered in service robotics.
