Imitation learning

A person performs the task many times, usually through teleoperation, and the robot learns a mapping from what it sees to what the person did. For tasks such as loading a dishwasher it is often faster than writing rules by hand.

The limit is the demonstrations themselves. If the robot never saw a different cup, a different light or a different table height, it may fail there. When a vendor says a skill was learned from demonstrations, ask how many were recorded and in how many places.
