A Case-Based Approach To Imitation Learning in Robotic Agents

چکیده
Learning by imitation is an essential process in human cognition. Recently, imitation learning has also become important in robotics research. We address the problem of learning by imitation in interactive, robotic agents using case-based reasoning. We describe two tasks for which case-based reasoning may be used: (i) interpretation, in which the robot interprets new skill demonstrations as being related to previous observations, and (ii) imitation, in which a robot seeks to use previously learned skills to address new problem scenarios. We present a case-based framework for imitation and interpretation in a robotic agent that learns from observations of a human teacher.

A Model-Based Goal-Directed Bayesian Framework for Imitation Learning in Humans and Machines
Imitation offers a powerful mechanism for knowledge acquisition, particularly for intelligent agents (like infants) that lack the ability to transfer knowledge using language. Several algorithms and models have recently been proposed for imitation learning in humans and robots. However, few proposals offer a framework for imitation learning in noisy stochastic environments where the imitator mu...
متن کاملCase-Based Skill Transfer in Robotic Agents
Imitation learning is an effective method for interactively teaching a robot learner to complete a task. We address the problem of transfer for robotic agents that learn tasks from demonstrations, where a robot is asked to adapt a learned task to be repeated in a related, but unfamiliar, environment. We take a case-based approach to transfer, where the robot learner stores individual task demon...
متن کاملSolving the Correspondence Problem Between Dissimilarly Embodied Robotic Arms Using the ALICE Imitation Mechanism
Imitation is a powerful mechanism whereby knowledge may be transferred between agents (both biological and artificial). A crucial problem in imitation is the correspondence problem, mapping action sequences of the model and the imitator agent. This problem becomes particularly obvious when the two agents do not share the same embodiment and affordances. This paper describes work with our genera...
متن کاملToward a Case-Based Framework for Imitation Learning in Robotic Agents
Imitation learning is a skill essential to human development and cognition [6, 5]. Naturally, imitation learning has become a topic of focus for robotics research as well, particularly in interactive robots [1, 2]. In imitating the actions of a teacher, a cognitive agent learns the demonstrated action such that it may perform a similar action later and achieve a similar goal. Thus, we expect th...
متن کاملA Case-Based Framework for Task Demonstration Storage and Adaptation
We address the problem of imitation learning in interactive robots which learn from task demonstrations. Many current approaches to interactive robot learning are performed over a set of demonstrations, where the robot observes several demonstrations of the same task and then creates a generalized model. In contrast, we aim to enable a robot to learn from individual demonstrations, each of whic...
