Abstract
Example systems and methods allow for capturing motions of a demonstration tool and using the captured motions to cause a robotic device to replicate motions of the demonstration tool with a robot tool. One example method includes receiving data from one or more cameras indicative of position of a demonstration tool. Based on the received data, the method may further include determining a motion path of the demonstration tool, where the motion path includes a sequence of positions of the demonstration tool. The method may also include determining a replication control path for a robotic device, where the replication control path includes one or more robot movements that cause the robotic device to move a robot tool through a motion path that corresponds to the motion path of the demonstration tool. The method may further include causing the robotic device to move the robot tool using the one or more robot movements within the replication control path.
