(YIP) ROBOT LEARNING FROM DEMONSTRATION WITH AUXILIARY CONTEXTUAL DATA

Abstract

Learning from demonstration has emerged as a powerful way to quickly and naturally program robots to perform a wide variety of tasks. Unfortunately, demonstrations are inherently ambiguous and incomplete, making correct generalization to unseen situations difficult without a large number of demonstrations in varying conditions. By contrast, humans are often able to learn complex tasks from a single demonstration by leveraging context learned over a lifetime, such as knowledge about how objects work, episodic memories of similar situations, and an intuitive understanding of the intentions of the demonstrator.
