Many advanced Learning from Demonstration (LfD) methods consider the
decomposition of complex, real-world tasks into simpler sub-tasks. By reusing
the corresponding sub-policies within and between tasks, they provide training
data for each policy from different high-level tasks and compose them to
perform novel ones. Existing approaches to modular LfD focus either on learning
a single high-level task or depend on domain knowledge and temporal
segmentation. In contrast, we propose a weakly supervised, domain-agnostic
approach based on task sketches, which include only the sequence of sub-tasks
performed in each demonstration. Our approach simultaneously aligns the
sketches with the observed demonstrations and learns the required sub-policies.
This improves generalisation in comparison to separate optimisation procedures.
We evaluate the approach on multiple domains, including a simulated 3D robot
arm control task using purely image-based observations. The results show that
our approach performs commensurately with fully supervised approaches, while
requiring significantly less annotation effort.
