Abstract:Acquiring new robot motor skills is cumbersome, as learning a skill from scratch and without prior knowledge requires the exploration of a large space of motor configurations. Accordingly, for learning a new task, time could be saved by restricting the parameter search space by initializing it with the solution of a similar task. We present a framework which is able of such knowledge transfer from already learned movement skills to a new learning task. The framework combines probabilistic movement primitives w… Show more
“…As a consequence, the resulting TP-GMM will not able to resolve on the corner cases. RL-based policy search maybe promising in resolving corner cases as reported in ACNMP framework in [31] and adaptive ProMP in [32]. However, for dressing tasks, the reward needs to be carefully designed as reflected in [33].…”
Moving away from repetitive tasks, robots nowadays demand versatile skills that adapt to different situations. Taskparameterized learning improves the generalization of motion policies by encoding relevant contextual information in the task parameters, hence enabling flexible task executions. However, training such a policy often requires collecting multiple demonstrations in different situations. To comprehensively create different situations is non-trivial thus renders the method less applicable to real-world problems. Therefore, training with fewer demonstrations/situations is desirable. This paper presents a novel concept to augment the original training dataset with synthetic data for policy improvements, thus allows learning task-parameterized skills with few demonstrations.
