<p><b>Robot learning</b> is a research field at the intersection of <a href="Machine_learning" title="Machine learning">machine learning</a> and <a href="Robotics" title="Robotics">robotics</a>. It studies techniques allowing a robot to acquire novel skills or adapt to its environment through learning algorithms. The embodiment of the robot, situated in a physical embedding, provides at the same time specific difficulties (e.g. high-dimensionality, real time constraints for collecting data and learning) and opportunities for guiding the learning process (e.g. sensorimotor synergies, motor primitives).
</p><p>Example of skills that are targeted by learning algorithms include sensorimotor skills such as locomotion, grasping, active <a href="Object_recognition" class="mw-redirect" title="Object recognition">object categorization</a>, as well as interactive skills such as joint manipulation of an object with a human peer, and linguistic skills such as the grounded and situated <a href="Natural-language_understanding" class="mw-redirect" title="Natural-language understanding">meaning of human language</a>. Learning can happen either through autonomous self-exploration or through guidance from a human teacher, like for example in robot learning by imitation.
</p><p>Robot learning can be closely related to <a href="Adaptive_control" title="Adaptive control">adaptive control</a>, <a href="Reinforcement_learning" title="Reinforcement learning">reinforcement learning</a> as well as <a href="Developmental_robotics" title="Developmental robotics">developmental robotics</a> which considers the problem of autonomous lifelong acquisition of repertoires of skills.
