Robot learning from demonstration (LfD) is a research paradigm that can play an important role in addressing the issue of scaling up robot learning. Since this type of approach enables non-robotics experts can teach robots new knowledge…
Learning from Demonstrations (LfD) allows robots to learn skills from human users, but its effectiveness can suffer due to sub-optimal teaching, especially from untrained demonstrators. Active LfD aims to improve this by letting robots…
As robots enter human environments, they will be expected to accomplish a tremendous range of tasks. It is not feasible for robot designers to pre-program these behaviors or know them in advance, so one way to address this is through…
In robotics, there is need of an interactive and expedite learning method as experience is expensive. Robot Learning from Demonstration (RLfD) enables a robot to learn a policy from demonstrations performed by teacher. RLfD enables a human…
Learning from demonstration (LfD) is commonly considered to be a natural and intuitive way to allow novice users to teach motor skills to robots. However, it is important to acknowledge that the effectiveness of LfD is heavily dependent on…
Learning from demonstration allows for rapid deployment of robot manipulators to a great many tasks, by relying on a person showing the robot what to do rather than programming it. While this approach provides many opportunities, measuring,…
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a framework that allows lay users to easily program robots. However, the efficiency of robot learning and the robot's ability to generalize to task variations hinges upon the quality and quantity of the…
Learning from demonstration (LfD) is a technique that allows expert teachers to teach task-oriented skills to robotic systems. However, the most effective way of guiding novice teachers to approach expert-level demonstrations quantitatively…
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) offers a promising paradigm for robot skill acquisition. Recent approaches attempt to extract manipulation commands directly from video demonstrations, yet face two critical challenges: (1) general video…
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a popular approach that allows humans to teach robots new skills by showing the correct way(s) of performing the desired skill. Human-provided demonstrations, however, are not always optimal and the…
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a popular approach to endowing robots with skills without having to program them by hand. Typically, LfD relies on human demonstrations in clutter-free environments. This prevents the demonstrations from…
When demonstrating a task, human tutors pedagogically modify their behavior by either "showing" the task rather than just "doing" it (exaggerating on relevant parts of the demonstration) or by giving demonstrations that best disambiguate…
Humans can leverage physical interaction to teach robot arms. This physical interaction takes multiple forms depending on the task, the user, and what the robot has learned so far. State-of-the-art approaches focus on learning from a single…
We introduce a Learning from Demonstration (LfD) approach for contact-rich manipulation tasks with articulated mechanisms. The extracted policy from a single human demonstration generalizes to different mechanisms of the same type and is…
This paper presents a learning-from-demonstration (LfD) framework for teaching human-robot social interactions that involve whole-body haptic interaction, i.e. direct human-robot contact over the full robot body. The performance of existing…
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) seeks to democratize robotics by enabling diverse end-users to teach robots to perform a task by providing demonstrations. However, most LfD techniques assume users provide optimal demonstrations. This is…
Human-in-the-loop learning is gaining popularity, particularly in the field of robotics, because it leverages human knowledge about real-world tasks to facilitate agent learning. When people instruct robots, they naturally adapt their…
This paper examines the effect of real-time, personalized alignment of a robot's reward function to the human's values on trust and team performance. We present and compare three distinct robot interaction strategies: a non-learner strategy…
Owing to the recent success of Large Language Models, Modern A.I has been much focused on linguistic interactions with humans but less focused on non-linguistic forms of communication between man and machine. In the present paper, we test…
Learning from demonstration (LfD) techniques seek to enable novice users to teach robots novel tasks in the real world. However, prior work has shown that robot-centric LfD approaches, such as Dataset Aggregation (DAgger), do not perform…
