Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a very appealing approach to empower robots with autonomy. Given some demonstrations provided by a human teacher, the robot can learn a policy to solve the task without explicit programming. A promising use case is to endow smart robotic wheelchairs with active assistance to navigation. By using LfD, it is possible to learn to infer short-term destinations anyw...
