+ | a novel framework for robot programming by demonstration based on | ||
+ | Conditional Neural Processes (CNP). Like Bayesian methods such as | ||
+ | Gaussian Processes (GP), CNP learn how target distributions depend | ||
+ | on data, and can be conditioned on specific data points to infer | ||
+ | new target distributions at test time. Unlike GP that are | ||
+ | expensive to train and scale poorly to high dimensions, CNP are | ||
+ | neural networks and are trained by gradient descent. CNMP | ||
+ | leverage CNP to represent motion trajectories that can be | ||
+ | conditioned, at test time, on task paramters such as goal | ||
+ | locations, via points, and/or force readings. Moreover, CNMP are | ||
+ | conditioned on sensor readings during execution, resulting in | ||
