Abstract
Learning from demonstration utilizes human expertise to program a robot. We believe this approach to robot programming will facilitate the development and deployment of general purpose personal robots that can adapt to specific user preferences. Demonstrations can potentially take place across a wide variety of environmental conditions. In this paper we study the impact that the users visual access to the robot, or lack thereof, has on on teaching performance. Based on the obtained results, we then address how a robot can provide additional information to a instructor during the LfD process, to optimize the two-way process of teaching and learning. Finally, we describe a novel Bayesian approach to generating task policies from demonstration data.
