Acquisition of Body Schema, Tool Usages and Behavioral manner through Human Observation and Interactive Practice on Various Humanoid Series

Considering anthropomorphic robots, i.e., hu-manoids, as a general form of intelligent robots, we have developed various types of humanoids rang-ing from small remote-brain robots to life-sized daily assistive humanoids, high-torque and high-speed humanoids and human mimetic mus-culoskeletal robots, while building up a common compatible intelligent robot kernel. Moreover, we have developed an observation-driven task-learning framework that enables humanoids to imitate not only motions but also intentions of humans. This framework includes an attention control system for observing people, their tools and the manipulated objects, as well as a variety of multi-level planners. Recently, we have integrated the software and hardware techniques developed so far to build a life-sized humanoid with whole-body passivity and attention inductivity. The goal of our research is to incrementally dis-cover a basic principle for various types of hu-manoid robots to obtain automatically the knowledge of how they should act, which, until now, has been given by humans manually. This process is composed of the following three stages: 1) action learning through observation of human demon-strations; 2) repeated practice with outcome eval-uations provided by humans; 3) action modification through human intervention.
