Abstract	Pieter Abbeel Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Abstract For many robotic systems human operators still significantly outperform autonomous operation. "Apprenticeship Learning" is a new approach to high-performance robot control based on learning for control from ensembles of expert human demonstrations. In this talk I'll present the theory of our apprenticeship learning algorithms as well as experimental results in autonomous helicopter flight. Apprenticeship learning has enabled the most advanced helicopter aerobatics to-date, including maneuvers such as chaos, tic-tocs, and auto-rotation landings which only exceptional expert human pilots can fly.
