programming autonomous behavior in machines and robots traditionally requires a specific set of skills and knowledge. On the other hand, human experts can demonstrate the desired task even if they do not know how to program the necessary behavior in a machine or robot. The purpose of Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is to efficiently learn a desired behavior by imitating the teacher. LfD is considered a key technology for applications in manufacturing, elder care, and the service industry. These applications require efficient, intuitive ways to teach robots the motions they need to perform. In recent times there has been a renewed interest in robot teleoperation, since it allows workers to accomplish their tasks remotely from home office or anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, network conditions play a significant role in the stability of teleoperated systems, and factors such as delays or reduced bandwidth can be decisive in the successful completion of even the simplest tasks. In this work, we present a method to teach insertion skills from teleoperated demonstrations that combines visual and haptic information. Both streams of data are decoupled, which allows for easier provision of Quality of Service (QoS) under adverse network conditions. Additionally, a user study of the impact of bandwidth limitation on the visual part of the remote teaching is presented, where the results show that a reduction in bandwidth leads to increased demonstration time and lower accuracy. A weighting strategy to limit the harm of the network conditions is successfully applied, reducing the median error in the demonstrated insertion pose by approximately 20%.

The ongoing trend from mass-produced to mass-customized products with batch sizes as small as a single unit has highlighted the need for highly adaptable robotic systems with lower downtime for maintenance. To address these demands, this article proposes the development of a novel reconfigurable collaborative robot (cobot), which has the potential to open up many new scenarios within the rapidly emerging flexible manufacturing environments. As the technological contribution, we present a complete hard- and software architecture for a quickly reconfigurable EtherCAT-based robot. This novel approach allows to automatically reconstruct the topology of different robot structures, composed of a set of body modules, each of which represents an EtherCAT slave. As the theoretical contribution, we propose a method to obtain in an automatic way the kinematic and dynamic model of the robot and store it in universal robot description format (URDF) as soon as the physical robot is assembled or reconfigured. The method also automatically reshapes a generic optimization-based controller to be instantly used after reconfiguration. While this article focuses on reconfigurable manipulators, the proposed concept can support arbitrary serial kinematic tree-like configurations. We demonstrate the contributions with examples of the following: how the topology of the robot is reconstructed and the URDF model is generated, and a Cartesian task application for a cobot built with the basic modules, demonstrating the quick reconfigurabilty of the system from a 4-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) robot to a 5-DOF robot, in order to satisfy new workspace requirements.
We present a substantial extension of our Human-Aware Task Planning framework, tailored for scenarios with intermittent shared execution experiences and significant belief divergence between humans and robots, particu...
