Abstract

To achieve a desirable motion of the humanoid robots we propose a framework for robot skill-synthesis that is based on human visuo-motor learning capacity. The basic idea is to consider the humanoid robot as a tool that is intuitively controlled by a human demonstrator. Once the effortless control of the humanoid robot has been achieved, the desired behavior of the humanoid robot is obtained through practice. The successful execution of the desired motion by the human demonstrator is afterwards used for the design of motion controllers that operate autonomously. In the paper we describe our idea by presenting a couple of robot skills obtained by the proposed framework.
