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 …

We present a comprehensive survey of robot Learning from Demonstration (LfD), a
technique that develops policies from example state to action mappings. We introduce the …

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 …

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 …

In this paper, we move toward offering psychological benchmarks to measure success in
building increasingly humanlike robots. By psychological benchmarks we mean categories …

Humans are an essential part of human-robot interaction (HRI), but what roles do they play
in HRI research? Analysis of the role of human subjects in research can serve as an …

Robot programming by demonstration (RPD) covers methods by which a robot learns new
skills through human guidance. We present an interactive, multimodal RPD framework using …

Developing coordination among multiple agents and enabling them to exhibit teamwork is a
challenging yet exciting task that can benefit many of the complex real-life problems. This …

We present Simitate-a hybrid benchmarking suite targeting the evaluation of approaches for
imitation learning. A dataset containing 1938 sequences where humans perform daily …

This article reports on the results of a user study investigating the satisfaction of nave users
conducting two learning by demonstration tasks with the HOAP-3 robot. The main goal of …
