Collaborative Robot Learning from Demonstrations using Hidden Markov Model State Distribution
share
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 user to add new capabilities to a robot in an intuitive manner, without explicitly reprogramming it. In this work, we present a novel interactive framework, where a collaborative robot learns skills for trajectory based tasks from demonstrations performed by a human teacher. The robot extracts features from each demonstration called as key-points and learns a model of the demonstrated skill using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Our experimental results show that the learned model can be used to produce a generalized trajectory based skill.
