We present a programming-by-demonstration framework for generically extracting the
relevant features of a given task and for addressing the problem of generalizing the acquired …

We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. By
using active teaching methods that puts the human teacher" in the loop" of the robot's …

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 …

Programming robots to carry out useful tasks is both a complex and non-trivial exercise. A
simple and intuitive method to allow humans to train and shape robot behaviour is clearly a …

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 …

Robot programming by demonstration (RbD) covers methods by which a robot learns new
skills through human guidance. In this work, we take the perspective that the role of the …

This paper presents an architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the
constraints of a given task in a programming by demonstration framework and the problem …

We introduce NIFT, Neural Interaction Field and Template, a descriptive and robust
interaction representation of object manipulations to facilitate imitation learning. Given a few …

Imitative learning and learning by observation are social mechanisms that allow a robot to
acquire knowledge from a human or another robot. However to be able to obtain skills in this …

For robots to work effectively with humans, they must learn and recognize activities that
humans perform. We enable a robot to learn a library of activities from user demonstrations …
