Abstract

In this paper we present an approach for high-level behavior recognition and selection integrated with a low-level controller to help the robot to learn new skills from demonstrations. By means of Semantic Network as the core of the method, the robot gains the ability to model the world with concepts and relate them to low-level sensory-motor states. We also show how the generalization ability of Semantic Networks can be used to extend learned skills to new situations.
