Key position demonstrations, requiring the user to provide only a sequence of via-points rather than a complete trajectory, have been shown to be an appealing alternative. In this letter, we investigate the synergy between learning adaptive movement primitives and key position demonstrations. We exploit a linear optimal control formulation to (1) recover the timing information of the skill missing from key position demonstrations, and to (2) infer low-effort movements on-the-fly. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach in a user study where 16 novice users taught a 7-DoF robot manipulator, showing improved learning efficiency and trajectory smoothness. We further showcase the effectiveness of the approach for tasks that require precise demonstrations and on-the-fly movement adaptation.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2022/Jankowski_RA-L_2022.pdf} }
