Humans have a remarkable way of learning, adapting and mastering new manipulation
tasks. With the current advances in Machine Learning (ML), the promise of having
robots with such capabilities seems to be on the cusp of reality. Transferring human-level
sk ...
As humanoid robots become increasingly popular, learning and control algorithms must take into account the new constraints and challenges inherent to these platforms, if we aim to fully exploit their potential. One of the most prominent of such aspects is ...
The majority of learning from demonstration approaches do not address suboptimal demonstrations or cases when drastic changes in the environment occur after the demonstrations were made. For example, in real teleoperation tasks, the demonstrations provided ...
With the exponential growth of robotics and the fast development of their advanced cognitive and motor capabilities, one can start to envision humans and robots jointly working together in unstructured environments. Yet, for that to be possible, robots nee ...
Recently, the notion that the brain is fundamentally a prediction machine has gained traction within the cognitive science community. Consequently, the ability to learn accurate predictors from experience is crucial to creating intelligent robots. However, ...
Task-parameterized models provide a representation of movement/behavior that can adapt to a set of task parameters describing the current situation encountered by the robot, such as location of objects or landmarks in its workspace. This paper gives an ove ...

Social robots are being used to create better educational scenarios, thereby fostering children's learning. In the work presented here, we describe an autonomous social robot that was designed to enhance children's handwriting skills. Exploiting the benefi ...
Lightweight, autonomous drones are soon expected to be used in a wide variety of tasks such as aerial surveillance, delivery, or monitoring of existing architectures. A large body of literature in robotic perception and control exists. Existing methods are ...
Robots for education are not limited to support ICT teaching, and they are indeed finding new roles in the classroom. This article reports on such a new paradigm for educative robots, that involves learning by teaching and strong social engagement to help ...
