About this guide
Using joint intention theory as our theoretical frame-work, our approach integrates learning and collaboration through a goal based task structure. Specifically, we use col-laborative discourse with accompanying gestures and so-cial cues to teach a humanoid robot a structurally com-plex task. Having learned the representation for the task, the robot then performs it shoulder-to-shoulder with a hu-man partner, using social communication acts to dynami-cally mesh its plans with those of its partner

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.
