  • Discovering higher-level actions from expert's action demonstration
    Patent number: 11526729
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting a higher-level action from one or more trajectories of real states. The trajectories are based on an experts' action demonstration. The method trains predictors to predict future states. Each predictor has a different duration of the higher-level action to be detected. The method predicts, using the predictors, the future states using past ones of the real states in the one or more trajectories as inputs for the predictors. The method determines if a match exists between any of the future states relative to a real future state with a corresponding same duration from the one or more trajectories. The method outputs a pair that includes the matching one of the future states as a prediction input and the real future state with the corresponding same duration from the one or more trajectories as the higher-level action corresponding thereto, responsive to the match existing.
