Robot Learning by Visual Observation

This book presents programming by demonstration for robot learning from observations with a focus on the trajectory level of task abstractionDiscusses methods for optimization of task reproduction, such as reformulation of task planning as a constrained optimization problemFocuses on regression approaches, such as Gaussian mixture regression, spline regression, and locally weighted regressionConcentrates on the use of vision sensors for capturing motions and actions during task demonstration by a human task expert
