|---|
| Imitation learning | Learning from observing the actions of others is considered a key element of human intelligence. Porting this ability to robots therefore is an important step towards autonomous behavior. |
| Sequential skill learning | By coordinating basic elementary movements, complex sequential and parallel movement behaviours can be achieved. The goal is to learn when to perform which basic movement in order to perform a complex task. |
