Abstract As robots become more accessible to humans, more intuitive and human-friendly methods of programming them are needed, chiefly with features such as interactive and group-aware behaviours.This project addresses a central problem which has not been sufficiently explored in the literature, the gap between Learning by Demonstration and Multi-robot systems. In particular, this proposal tackles the fundamental problem of learning multi-robot cooperative behaviour from concurrent multi-teacher demonstrations of task execution, where not only the performance at individual level must be taken in to account, but also the performance of the group as a whole.It is proposed the development, implementation and validation (through user experiments in a real environment) of a multi-layered framework for Learning by Demonstration in Multi-robot Systems. Such framework should be capable of a) extract and represent the structure of solutions to distinct tasks in hierarchical layers of abstraction; b) adapt such representations to new situations and user preferences; and c) jointly execute a given task with other robots and/or humans. | |
