Learning From Demonstration

Learning From Demonstration is a robot learning paradigm in which a robot acquires task-specific behaviors by observing and generalizing from expert demonstrations, distinguishing itself from other learning methods by relying on observational data rather than explicit reward signals or trial-and-error exploration.
