Learning Complex Manipulation Tasks from Heterogeneous and Unstructured Demonstrations. Figueroa, N. & Billard, A. In Proceedings of Workshop on Synergies between Learning and Interaction. IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2017.
abstract   bibtex   
Motivated by the current state-of-the-art in Robot Learning from Demonstration (LfD), in this paper, we tackle two central issues in the learning pipeline: namely, dealing with (1) heterogeneity and (2) unstructuredness in demonstrations of complex manipulation tasks. We build upon our previous work on transform-invariant segmentation and action discovery [1], to learn the underlying action sequence of tasks demonstrated in different reference frames or contexts. We then construct and parametrize a multi-phase task-space control architecture, boot-strapped by the segmented data and model parameters learned from the action discovery approach. Successful case studies of the proposed methodology are presented for uni/bi-manual cooking tasks demonstrated through kinesthetic teaching.
