Watch and Learn: Learning to control feedback linearizable systems from expert demonstrations

TLDR
This paper shows how to combine expert demonstrations into a stabilizing controller, provided that demonstrations are sufficiently long and there are at least $n+1$ of them, where $n$ is the number of states of the system being controlled.
Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the problem of learning a stabilizing controller from a finite number of demonstrations by an expert. By focusing on feedback linearizable systems, we show how to combine expert demonstrations into a stabilizing controller, provided that demonstrations are sufficiently long and there are at least $n+1$ of them, where $n$ is the number of states of the system being controlled. The results are experimentally demonstrated on a CrazyFlie 2.0 quadrotor.

Minimum snap trajectory generation and control for quadrotors

TL;DR: An algorithm is developed that enables the real-time generation of optimal trajectories through a sequence of 3-D positions and yaw angles, while ensuring safe passage through specified corridors and satisfying constraints on velocities, accelerations and inputs.

Is imitation learning the route to humanoid robots

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in artificial intelligence and neural computation: learning from imitation and the development of humanoid robots is presented. But the authors focus on three important issues: efficient motor learning, the connection between action and perception, and modular motor control in the form of movement primitives.
