Motivation

  • Traditional LfD focuses on teaching sequences

○ Trajectory learning ○ Keyframe learning

  • Pick-and-place tasks concerned with end-state

○ Pack the items in the box ○ Put away the pallet ○ ...

  • What’s missing: plausible goal states

SLIDE 3

The Problem

  • How can we learn goal states based on

high-level task descriptions?

  • Different interpretations lead to different goal

states

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Challenges

  • Multiple plausible goal states possible
  • Learning should be done in an unsupervised

manner

  • Frame of reference unknown
  • Requires large training set

○ Crowdsourcing ○ Noisy or malicious data

SLIDE 5

Methodology

  • Data Collection

○ Raw placement locations of items per task

  • Transformation

○ Autonomously extract features and eliminate irrelevant ones

  • Model Training

○ Training templates (states) from transformed data

Model Training

  • Each transformed dataset becomes potential model λ∈Λ
  • Search for and rank dense clusters

Conclusion & Future Work

  • Verified on a series of tasks
  • Test in manufacturing and industrial domains
  • Creates a base knowledge base
  • Room for further, local expert user

collaboration

  • Modify models to personalize the template

○ Human-in-the-loop
