For a successful deployment of physical Human-Robot Cooperation (pHRC), humans need to be able to teach robots new motor skills quickly. Probabilistic movement primitives (ProMPs) are a promising method to encode a robot’s motor skills learned from human demonstrations in pHRC settings. However, most algorithms to learn ProMPs from human demonstrations operate in batch mode, which is not ideal in pHRC when we want humans and robots to work together from even the first demonstration. In this paper, we propose a new learning algorithm to learn ProMPs incre-mentally and continuously in pHRC settings. Our algorithm incorporates new demonstrations sequentially as they arrive, allowing humans to observe the robot’s learning progress and incrementally shape the robot’s motor skill. A built-in forgetting factor allows for corrective demonstrations resulting from the human’s learning curve or changes in task constraints. We compare the performance of our algorithm to existing batch ProMP algorithms on reference data generated from a pick-and-place task at our lab. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the forgetting factor allows us to adapt to changes in the task. The incremental learning algorithm presented in this paper has the potential to lead to a more intuitive learning progress and to establish a successful cooperation between human and robot faster than training in batch mode.

Fast internal detection and location in Shunt Ca-pacitor Banks (SCBs) can lead to the prevention of damages to other SCBs' elements and consequently avoid undesirable performance and effects in power system operation. This paper targets the performance of phasor-based algorithms of failure detection and fault location of SCBs. Being dependent on the fundamental phasor components which usually are calculated based on the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the failure detection and fault location algorithms suffer from almost one-cycle delay. This paper provides sub-cycle phasor estimation based on the least-square technique. The proposed algorithm is evaluated for different configurations of SCBs considering different fuse protection designs. The proposed method provides a criterion for relay decision-making in the case of multiple faulty phases condition. The proposed method is designed to monitor and detect consecutive failures based on the existing data of commercial relays. Performance evaluations are conducted under different circumstances namely voltage unbalance conditions and multiple internal fault locations.
