In the context of robotics and automation, learning from demonstration (LfD) is the paradigm
in which robots acquire new skills by learning to imitate an expert. The choice of LfD over …

Learning from demonstration (LfD) has been used to help robots to implement manipulation
tasks autonomously, in particular, to learn manipulation behaviors from observing the motion …

Robot PbD started about 30 years ago, growing importantly during the past decade. The
rationale for moving from purely preprogrammed robots to very flexible user-based …

Recently, there have been considerable advances in the research on innovative information
communication technology (ICT) for the education of people with autism. This review …

This chapter surveys the main approaches developed to date to endow robots with the
ability to learn from human guidance. The field is best known as robot programming by …

We presented and evaluated an approach based on HMM, GMR, and dynamical systems to
allow robots to acquire new skills by imitation. Using HMM allowed us to get rid of the explicit …

Also referred to as learning by imitation, tutelage, or apprenticeship learning, Programming
by Demonstration (PbD) develops methods by which new skills can be transmitted to a …

Recent years have witnessed an incredibly increasing interest in the topic of incremental
learning. Unlike conventional machine learning situations, data flow targeted by incremental …

This paper proposes an end-to-end learning from demonstration framework for teaching
force-based manipulation tasks to robots. The strengths of this work are manyfold. First, we …

The main objective of this paper is to develop an efficient method for learning and
reproduction of complex trajectories for robot programming by demonstration. Encoding of …
