Abstract
Apparatus and methods for training and operating of robotic devices. Robotic controller may comprise a plurality of predictor apparatus configured to generate motor control output. One predictor may be operable in accordance with a pre-configured process; another predictor may be operable in accordance with a learning process configured based on a teaching signal. An adaptive combiner component may be configured to determine a combined control output controller block may provide control output that may be combined with the predicted control output. The pre-programmed predictor may be configured to operate a robot to perform a task. Based on detection of a context, the controller may adaptively switch to use control output of the learning process to perform the given or another task. User feedback may be utilized during learning.
