Abstract

Programming by demonstration (PbD) is a key research topic in robotics. It impacts both fundamental research and application-oriented studies.Work in that area tackles the development of robust algorithms for motor control, motor learning, gesture recognition and visuo-motor integration. While the field existed for more than 20 years, recent developments, taking inspiration in biological mechanisms of imitation, have brought a new perspective. Programming by demonstration, now, encompasses more of the learning components of traditional approaches and is often referred to as Learning from Demonstration or Learning by Imitation. This issue aims at assessing the recent progresses in the field, gathering works following either an engineering or a biologically inspired approach.

Field (mathematics)

In mathematics, a field is a set on which addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are defined and behave as the corresponding operations on rational and real numbers do. A field is thus a fundamental algebraic structure which is widely used in algebra, number theory, and many other areas of mathematics. The best known fields are the field of rational numbers, the field of real numbers and the field of complex numbers.

Learning

Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants. Some learning is immediate, induced by a single event (e.g. being burned by a hot stove), but much skill and knowledge accumulate from repeated experiences. The changes induced by learning often last a lifetime, and it is hard to distinguish learned material that seems to be "lost" from that which cannot be retrieved.

Field extension

In mathematics, particularly in algebra, a field extension is a pair of fields such that the operations of K are those of L restricted to K. In this case, L is an extension field of K and K is a subfield of L. For example, under the usual notions of addition and multiplication, the complex numbers are an extension field of the real numbers; the real numbers are a subfield of the complex numbers. Field extensions are fundamental in algebraic number theory, and in the study of polynomial roots through Galois theory, and are widely used in algebraic geometry.
