We consider the problem of operator comfort levels with manipulator trajectories in heavily constrained, co-robotic environments. To reduce anxiety and improve user comfort, a trajectory learning system is trained using a set of specified environmental features associated with a waste sorting task. A Trajectory Preference Perceptron was used to learn desired operator feature weights via iterative suboptimal but improved trainer feedback thus relieving the operator of the burden of providing optimal feedback. The object feature weights are stored and updated to handle a fluid environmental scene. A pool of robotics students spanning a range of experience from novice undergraduates to doctoral candidates provided qualitative results to evaluate the method's effectiveness.
