abstract
Deploying robots in dynamic, human-populated environments will require techniques for adaptable robot skill acquisition that extend beyond pre-programmed functionality. Learning from demonstration (LfD) methods enable robots to learn skills from human-provided trajectories demonstrated in situ. However, prior work has shown non-expert end-users struggle to provide demonstrations that enable robots to perform complex, multi-step tasks, or to generalize skill knowledge beyond a specific environment and task context. This work enables robots to actively participate in the situated learning interaction by autonomously providing bespoke guidance in response to end-users' demonstrations, thus improving end-users' ability to teach robots useful skills via LfD. We introduce a novel LfD system integrating foundation model (FM)-based textual feedback and augmented reality (AR)-based visual feedback. The FM and AR feedbacks operate synergistically, with FM feedback helping users break tasks down effectively and with AR feedback allowing users to quickly evaluate how well demonstrations perform and generalize. This system provides targeted, actionable guidance throughout the demonstration process: it enhances users' ability to define, decompose, and demonstrate modular, repurposable skills capable of accomplishing complex tasks. We validate our system with a human-subjects experiment in which participants receive bespoke feedback as they teach a robot via kinesthetic demonstrations in a pair of robotic manipulation domains. From this study, we observe positive results demonstrating that the combination of AR and FM feedback improves the quality and generalizability of robot policies, compared to AR feedback alone, FM feedback alone, or a baseline system where learned skills can be played physically on the robot.
