Abstract

This paper presents an integrated robotic system capable of learning and executing manipulation tasks from a single human user’s demonstration. The system capabilities are threefold. The system learns tasks from perceptual stimuli, models and stores the information in the form of semantic knowledge. The system may employ the model achieved to execute task in an way similar to the example shown and adapt the motion to robot own constraints in terms of physical limits and interferences. The system integrates perception and action algorithms in order to autonomously extrapolate the context in which to operate. It robustly changes its behavior according to the environment evolution. The performances of the system have been verified through a series of tests. The tests run on the Kuka youBot platform and all the tools and algorithms are integrated into Willow Garage ”Robotic Operating System” (ROS).
