چکیده
Reinforcement Learning is an essential ability for robots to learn new motor skills. Nevertheless, few methods scale into the domain of anthropomorphic robotics. In order to improve in terms of efficiency, the problem is reduced onto reward-weighted imitation. By doing so, we are able to generate a framework for policy learning which both unifies previous reinforcement learning approaches and allows the derivation of novel algorithms. We show our two most relevant applications both for motor primitive learning (e.g., a complex Ball-in-aCup task using a real Barrett WAMTM robot arm) and learning task-space control.

Learning movement primitive attractor goals and sequential skills from kinesthetic demonstrations
We present an approach for learning sequential robot skills through kinesthetic teaching. In our work, finding the transitions between consecutive movement primitives is treated as multiclass classification problem. We show how the goal parameters of linear attractor movement primitives can be learned from manually segmented and labelled demonstrations and how the observed movement primitive or...
متن کاملLearning Prioritized Control of Motor Primitives
Many tasks in robotics can be decomposed into sub-tasks that are performed simultaneously. In many cases, these sub-tasks cannot all be achieved jointly and a prioritization of such sub-tasks is required to resolve this issue. In this paper, we discuss a novel learning approach that allows to learn a prioritized control law built on a set of sub-tasks represented by motor primitives. The primit...
متن کاملPolicy Learning - A Unified Perspective with Applications in Robotics
Policy Learning approaches are among the best suited methods for high-dimensional, continuous control systems such as anthropomorphic robot arms and humanoid robots. In this paper, we show two contributions: firstly, we show a unified perspective which allows us to derive several policy learning algorithms from a common point of view, i.e, policy gradient algorithms, naturalgradient algorithms ...
متن کاملPolicy Search for Motor Primitives
Many motor skills in humanoid robotics can be learned using parametrized motor primitives from demonstrations. However, most interesting motor learning problems require self-improvement often beyond the reach of current reinforcement learning methods due to the high dimensionality of the state-space. We develop an EM-inspired algorithm applicable to complex motor learning tasks. We compare this...
