Abstract:

We present a novel unifying approach to conventional learning from demonstration (LfD) and motion

planning using probabilistic inference for skill reproduction. We also provide a new probabilistic

skill model that requires minimal parameter tuning, and is more suited for encoding skill

constraints and performing inference in an efficient manner. Preliminary experimental results using

real-world data are presented.
