Query: Interactive Trajectory Adaptation through Force-guided Bayesian
  Optimization   Flexible manufacturing processes demand robots to easily adapt to changes in
the environment and interact with humans. In such dynamic scenarios, robotic
tasks may be programmed through learning-from-demonstration approaches, where a
nominal plan of the task is learned by the robot. However, the learned plan may
need to be adapted in order to fulfill additional requirements or overcome
unexpected environment changes. When the required adaptation occurs at the
end-effector trajectory level, a human operator may want to intuitively show
the robot the desired changes by physically interacting with it. In this
scenario, the robot needs to understand the human intended changes from noisy
haptic data, quickly adapt accordingly and execute the nominal task plan when
no further adaptation is needed. This paper addresses the aforementioned
challenges by leveraging LfD and Bayesian optimization to endow the robot with
data-efficient adaptation capabilities. Our approach exploits the sensed
interaction forces to guide the robot adaptation, and speeds up the
optimization process by defining local search spaces extracted from the learned
task model. We show how our framework quickly adapts the learned
spatial-temporal patterns of the task, leading to deformed trajectory
distributions that are consistent with the nominal plan and the changes
introduced by the human.
