Demonstration
A demonstration (also called a trajectory or episode in imitation learning contexts) is a recorded sequence of observations and actions provided by a human or expert controller that illustrates how to perform a task. Demonstrations are the primary data source for behavioral cloning and other imitation learning algorithms. They can be collected via teleoperation , kinesthetic teaching , or motion capture. Data quality — smooth motion, consistent task execution, adequate coverage of the task's state space — matters as much as quantity for downstream policy performance. RCSV collects production-quality robot demonstrations through our data services . See this in practice: our data collection service →
