  • A formalism for learning from demonstration

    • The paper describes and formalizes the concepts and assumptions involved in Learning from Demonstration (LFD), a common learning technique used in robotics. LFD-related concepts like goal, generalization, and repetition are here defined, analyzed, and put into context. Robot behaviors are described in terms of trajectories through information spaces and learning is formulated as mappings between some of these spaces. Finally, behavior primitives are introduced as one example of good bias in learning, dividing the learning process into the three stages of behavior segmentation, behavior recognition, and behavior coordination. The formalism is exemplified through a sequence learning task where a robot equipped with a gripper arm is to move objects to specific areas. The introduced concepts are illustrated with special focus on how bias of various kinds can be used to enable learning from a single demonstration, and how ambiguities in demonstrations can be identified and handled.

  • Behavior recognition for learning from demonstration
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: 2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. - : IEEE. - 9781424450404 - 9781424450381 ; , s. 866-872

    • Two methods for behavior recognition are presented and evaluated. Both methods are based on the dynamic temporal difference algorithm Predictive Sequence Learning (PSL) which has previously been proposed as a learning algorithm for robot control. One strength of the proposed recognition methods is that the model PSL builds to recognize behaviors is identical to that used for control, implying that the controller (inverse model) and the recognition algorithm (forward model) can be implemented as two aspects of the same model. The two proposed methods, PSLE-Comparison and PSLH-Comparison, are evaluated in a Learning from Demonstration setting, where each algorithm should recognize a known skill in a demonstration performed via teleoperation. PSLH-Comparison produced the smallest recognition error. The results indicate that PSLH-Comparison could be a suitable algorithm for integration in a hierarchical control system consistent with recent models of human perception and motor control.

  • Behavior recognition for segmentation of demonstrated tasks
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: IEEE SMC International Conference on Distributed Human-Machine Systems (DHMS). - 9788001040270
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • One common approach to the robot learning technique Learning From Demonstration, is to use a set of pre-programmed skills as building blocks for more complex tasks. One important part of this approach is recognition of these skills in a demonstration comprising a stream of sensor and actuator data. In this paper, three novel techniques for behavior recognition are presented and compared. The first technique is function-oriented and compares actions for similar inputs. The second technique is based on auto-associative neural networks and compares reconstruction errors in sensory-motor space. The third technique is based on S-Learning and compares sequences of patterns in sensory-motor space. All three techniques compute an activity level which can be seen as an alternative to a pure classification approach. Performed tests show how the former approach allows a more informative interpretation of a demonstration, by not determining "correct" behaviors but rather a number of alternative interpretations.

  • Cognition Rehearsed : Recognition and Reproduction of Demonstrated Behavior
  • 2012
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The work presented in this dissertation investigates techniques for robot Learning from Demonstration (LFD). LFD is a well established approach where the robot is to learn from a set of demonstrations. The dissertation focuses on LFD where a human teacher demonstrates a behavior by controlling the robot via teleoperation. After demonstration, the robot should be able to reproduce the demonstrated behavior under varying conditions. In particular, the dissertation investigates techniques where previous behavioral knowledge is used as bias for generalization of demonstrations. The primary contribution of this work is the development and evaluation of a semi-reactive approach to LFD called Predictive Sequence Learning (PSL). PSL has many interesting properties applied as a learning algorithm for robots. Few assumptions are introduced and little task-specific configuration is needed. PSL can be seen as a variable-order Markov model that progressively builds up the ability to predict or simulate future sensory-motor events, given a history of past events. The knowledge base generated during learning can be used to control the robot, such that the demonstrated behavior is reproduced. The same knowledge base can also be used to recognize an on-going behavior by comparing predicted sensor states with actual observations. Behavior recognition is an important part of LFD, both as a way to communicate with the human user and as a technique that allows the robot to use previous knowledge as parts of new, more complex, controllers. In addition to the work on PSL, this dissertation provides a broad discussion on representation, recognition, and learning of robot behavior. LFD-related concepts such as demonstration, repetition, goal, and behavior are defined and analyzed, with focus on how bias is introduced by the use of behavior primitives. This analysis results in a formalism where LFD is described as transitions between information spaces. Assuming that the behavior recognition problem is partly solved, ways to deal with remaining ambiguities in the interpretation of a demonstration are proposed. The evaluation of PSL shows that the algorithm can efficiently learn and reproduce simple behaviors. The algorithm is able to generalize to previously unseen situations while maintaining the reactive properties of the system. As the complexity of the demonstrated behavior increases, knowledge of one part of the behavior sometimes interferes with knowledge of another parts. As a result, different situations with similar sensory-motor interactions are sometimes confused and the robot fails to reproduce the behavior. One way to handle these issues is to introduce a context layer that can support PSL by providing bias for predictions. Parts of the knowledge base that appear to fit the present context are highlighted, while other parts are inhibited. Which context should be active is continually re-evaluated using behavior recognition. This technique takes inspiration from several neurocomputational models that describe parts of the human brain as a hierarchical prediction system. With behavior recognition active, continually selecting the most suitable context for the present situation, the problem of knowledge interference is significantly reduced and the robot can successfully reproduce also more complex behaviors.

  • Cognition reversed : Robot learning from demonstration
  • 2009
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The work presented in this thesis investigates techniques for learning from demonstration (LFD). LFD is a well established approach to robot learning, where a teacher demonstrates a behavior to a robot pupil. This thesis focuses on LFD where a human teacher demonstrates a behavior by controlling the robot via teleoperation. The robot should after demonstration be able to execute the demonstrated behavior under varying conditions. Several views on representation, recognition and learning of robot behavior are presented and discussed from a cognitive and computational perspective. LFD-related concepts such as behavior, goal, demonstration, and repetition are defined and analyzed, with focus on how bias is introduced by the use of behavior primitives. This analysis results in a formalism where LFD is described as transitions between information spaces. Assuming that the behavior recognition problem is partly solved, ways to deal with remaining ambiguities in the interpretation of a demonstration are proposed. A total of five algorithms for behavior recognition are proposed and evaluated, including the dynamic temporal difference algorithm Predictive Sequence Learning (PSL). PSL is model-free in the sense that it makes few assumptions of what is to be learned. One strength of PSL is that it can be used for both robot control and recognition of behavior. While many methods for behavior recognition are concerned with identifying invariants within a set of demonstrations, PSL takes a different approach by using purely predictive measures. This may be one way to reduce the need for bias in learning. PSL is, in its current form, subjected to combinatorial explosion as the input space grows, which makes it necessary to introduce some higher level coordination for learning of complex behaviors in real-world robots. The thesis also gives a broad introduction to computational models of the human brain, where a tight coupling between perception and action plays a central role. With the focus on generation of bias, typical features of existing attempts to explain humans' and other animals' ability to learn are presented and analyzed, from both a neurological and an information theoretic perspective. Based on this analysis, four requirements for implementing general learning ability in robots are proposed. These requirements provide guidance to how a coordinating structure around PSL and similar algorithms should be implemented in a model-free way.

  • Cognitive Perspectives on Robot Behavior
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence. - Portugal : INSTICC. - 9789896740214 ; , s. 373-382, s. 373-382
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A growing body of research within the field of intelligent robotics argues for a view of intelligence drastically different from classical artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The holistic and embodied ideas expressed by this research promote the view that intelligence is an emergent phenomenon. Similar perspectives, where numerous interactions within the system lead to emergent properties and cognitive abilities beyond that of the individual parts, can be found within many scientific fields. With the goal of understanding how behavior may be represented in robots, the present review tries to grasp what this notion of emergence really means and compare it with a selection of theories developed for analysis of human cognition, including the extended mind, distributed cognition and situated action. These theories reveal a view of intelligence where common notions of objects, goals, language and reasoning have to be rethought. A view where behavior, as well as the agent as such, is defined by the observer rather than given by their nature. Structures in the environment emerge by interaction rather than recognized. In such a view, the fundamental question is how emergent systems appear and develop, and how they may be controlled.

  • Composer : A prototype multilingual model composition tool
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: MODPROD2013. - Umeå : Umeå universitet.
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Composer - A prototype multilingual model composition toolErik Billing and Martin ServinNovember 10, 2012Facing the task to design, simulate or optimize a complex system itis common to find models and data for the system expressed in differentformats, implemented in different simulation software tools. When a newmodel is developed, a target platform is chosen and existing componentsimplemented with different tools have to be converted. This results inunnecessary work duplication and lead times. The Modelica languageinitiative [2] partially solves this by allowing developers to move modelsbetween different tools following the Modelica standard. Another possi-bility is to exchange models using the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI)standard that allows computer models to be used as components in othersimulations, possibly implemented using other programming languages[1]. With the Modelica and FMI standards entering development, there isneed for an easy-to-use tool that supports design, editing and simulationof such multilingual systems, as well as for retracting system informationfor formulating and solving optimization problems.A prototype solution for a graphical block diagram tool for design, edit-ing, simulation and optimization of multilingual systems has been createdand evaluated for a specific system. The tool is named Composer [3].The block diagram representation should be generic, independent ofmodel implementations, have a standardized format and yet support effi-cient handling of complex data. It is natural to look for solutions amongmodern web technologies, specifically HTML5. The format for represent-ing two dimensional vector graphics in HTML5 is Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG). We combine the SVG format with the FMI standard. In a firststage, we take the XML-based model description of FMI as a form for de-scribing the interface for each component, in a language independent way.Simulation parameters can also be expressed on this form, and integratedas metadata into the SVG image. The prototype, using SVG in conjunction with FMI, is implementedin JavaScript and allow creation and modification of block diagrams directly in the web browser. Generated SVG images are sent to the serverwhere they are translated to program code, allowing the simulation ofthe dynamical system to be executed using selected implementations. Analternative mode is to generate optimization problem from the systemdefinition and model parameters. The simulation/optimization result is returned to the web browser where it is plotted or processed using otherstandard libraries.The fiber production process at SCA Packaging Obbola [4] is used asan example system and modeled using Composer. The system consists oftwo fiber production lines that produce fiber going to a storage tank [5].The paper machine is taking fiber from the tank as needed for production.A lot of power is required during fiber production and the purpose of themodel was to investigate weather electricity costs could be reduced byrescheduling fiber production over the day, in accordance with the electricity spot price. Components are implemented for dynamical simulationusing OpenModelica and for discrete event using Python. The Python implementation supports constraint propagation between components andoptimization over specified variables. Each component is interfaced as aFunctional Mock-up Unit (FMU), allowing components to be connectedand properties specified in language independent way. From the SVGcontaining the high-level system information, both Modelica and Pythoncode is generated and executed on the web server, potentially hosted ina high performance data center. More implementations could be addedwithout modifying the SVG system description.We have shown that it is possible to separate system descriptions onthe block diagram level from implementations and interface between thetwo levels using FMI. In a continuation of this project, we aim to integratethe FMI standard also for co-simulation, such that components implemented in different languages could be used together. One open questionis to what extent FMUs of the same component, but implemented withdifferent tools, will have the same model description. For the SVG-basedsystem description to be useful, the FMI model description must remainthe same, or at least contain a large overlap, for a single component implemented in different languages. This will be further investigated in futurework.References[1] Modelica Association. Functional mock-up interface, http://www.fmi-standard.org, November 2012.[2] Modelica Association.

  • Ingår i: ICAART 2010 - Proceedings of the international conference on agents and artificial intelligence. - Portugal : INSTICC. - 9789896740221 ; , s. 62-71
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A novel robot learning algorithm called Predictive Sequence Learning (PSL) is presented and evaluated. PSL is a model-free prediction algorithm inspired by the dynamic temporal difference algorithm S-Learning. While S-Learning has previously been applied as a reinforcement learning algorithm for robots, PSL is here applied to a Learning from Demonstration problem. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on four tasks using a Khepera II robot. PSL builds a model from demonstrated data which is used to repeat the demonstrated behavior. After training, PSL can control the robot by continually predicting the next action, based on the sequence of passed sensor and motor events. PSL was able to successfully learn and repeat the first three (elementary) tasks, but it was unable to successfully repeat the fourth (composed) behavior. The results indicate that PSL is suitable for learning problems up to a certain complexity, while higher level coordination is required for learning more complex behaviors.

    • A model-free learning algorithm called Predictive Sequence Learning (PSL) is presented and evaluated in a robot Learning from Demonstration (LFD) setting. PSL is inspired by several functional models of the brain. It constructs sequences of predictable sensory-motor patterns, without relying on predefined higher-level concepts. The algorithm is demonstrated on a Khepera II robot in four different tasks. During training, PSL generates a hypothesis library from demonstrated data. The library is then used to control the robot by continually predicting the next action, based on the sequence of passed sensor and motor events. In this way, the robot reproduces the demonstrated behavior. PSL is able to successfully learn and repeat three elementary tasks, but is unable to repeat a fourth, composed behavior. The results indicate that PSL is suitable for learning problems up to a certain complexity, while higher level coordination is required for learning more complex behaviors.
