• Abstract: Imitation learning (IL) algorithms have shown promising results for robots to learn skills from expert demonstrations. However, for versatile robots nowadays that need to learn diverse tasks, providing and learning the multi-task demonstrations all at once are both difficult. To solve this problem, in this work we study how to realize continual imitation learning ability that empowers robots to continually learn new tasks one by one, thus reducing the burden of multi-task IL and accelerating the process of new task learning at the same time. We propose a novel trajectory generation model that employs both a generative adversarial network and a dynamics prediction model to generate pseudo trajectories from all learned tasks in the new task learning process to achieve continual imitation learning ability. Our experiments on both simulation and real world manipulation tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

  We propose spire, a system that decomposes tasks into smaller learning subproblems and second combines imitation and reinforcement learning to maximize their strengths. We find that spire outperforms prior approaches that integrate imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and planning by 35% to 50% in average task performance.
