About this guide
to build a mobile robot system that performed LfD by tracking a human user [Dixon and Khosla, 2004b]. This system differs from CST in three ways. First, it does not use skill-specific abstractions, which makes it difficult to scale up to humanoid robots. Second, it segments demonstration trajectories into policies that are linear in the robot’s state variables, which is a stronger condition than a value function that is linear in a set of basis functions.

Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar environments
A robot rapidly specializes its skills using parameter policy learning, where the machine can rapidly specialize at specific, smaller actions within a long-horizon task. The MIT CSAIL algorithm enables autonomous practice to improve at mobile-manipulation activities.
