based robot. robots using standard programming methods. Indirect methods, such as learning by reinforcement or imitation, are also inappropriate for acquiring userspecific knowledge. Learning by reinforcement, for example, is a lengthy process and, while suitable for refining low-level motor controls, is impractical for complex tasks. Learning by imitation also has limited scope. Neither method...
