Robust imitation learning from observation
Imitation learning, sometimes referred as learning from demonstrations, has been used in real world scenarios because of its sample efficiency and computational feasibility, such as autonomous driving and robotics control. However, imitation learning often suffers from compounding error and data …

Imitation learning of whole-body grasps
… people. In much the same way, robots can use imitation learning to pick up useful skills. A system is demonstrated here for using imitation learning to teach a robot to grasp objects using both hand and whole-body grasps, which use the arms and torso as well as hands. Demonstration grasp …

Teaching Robots using Interactive Imitation Learning
… In this dissertation we develop Interactive Imitation Learning (IIL) based methods that allow robots to learn from imperfect demonstrations. We achieve this by incorporating human factors such as the quality of their demonstrations and the level of effort they are willing to invest in …

Optimal Strategy Imitation Learning from Differential Games
… continuous control policy, we use deep imitation learning to model the discrete approximation of a differential game solution. We successfully learn the policy generated for two games of different complexity, a fence escape and merging game, and show that the imitated policy generates …

Subdominance Minimization: A Satisficing Perspective on Imitation Learning
… conflicting objectives. However, prevailing imitation learning methods tend to prioritize optimizing a single imitation objective. This myopic focus on a singular objective frequently leads to unintended and undesirable behaviors in learned models. For example, an autonomous vehicle …

Imitation learning through games: theory, implementation and evaluation
… attention from either academia or industry is imitation learning, which seeks to expedite the learning process by exploiting data harvested from demonstrations of a given task. While substantial work has been done in developing imitation techniques for humanoid robot movement, there has been …
