Inter-robot transfer of training data is a little explored topic in learning- and vision-based robot control. Here we propose a transfer method from a robot with a lower Degree-of-Freedom (DoF) to one with a higher DoF utilizing the omnidirectional camera image. The virtual rotation of the robot camera enables data augmentation in this transfer learning process. As an experimental demonstration, a...
