Elaborating on Learned Demonstrations with Temporal Logic Specifications
Most current methods for learning from demonstrations assume that those
demonstrations alone are sufficient to learn the underlying task. This is often
untrue, especially if extra safety specifications exist which were not present
in the original demonstrations. In this paper, we allow an expert to elaborate
on their original demonstration with additional specification information using
linear temporal logic (LTL). Our system converts LTL specifications into a
differentiable loss. This loss is then used to learn a dynamic movement
primitive that satisfies the underlying specification, while remaining close to
the original demonstration. Further, by leveraging adversarial training, our
system learns to robustly satisfy the given LTL specification on unseen inputs,
not just those seen in training. We show that our method is expressive enough
to work across a variety of common movement specification patterns such as
obstacle avoidance, patrolling, keeping steady, and speed limitation. In
addition, we show that our system can modify a base demonstration with complex
specifications by incrementally composing multiple simpler specifications. We
also implement our system on a PR-2 robot to show how a demonstrator can start
with an initial (sub-optimal) demonstration, then interactively improve task
success by including additional specifications enforced with our differentiable
LTL loss
