This work presents an approach for implementation of conditional random fields (CRF) in transferring motor skills to robots. As a discriminative probabilistic model, CRF models directly the conditional probability distribution over label sequences for given observation sequences. Hereby, CRF was employed for segmentation and labeling of a set of demonstrated trajectories observed by a tracking sensor. The key points obtained by CRF segmentation of the demonstrations were used for generating a generalized trajectory for the task reproduction. The approach was evaluated by simulations of two industrial manufacturing applications.
