LEARNING FROM DEMONSTRATION FOR DETERMINING ROBOT PERCEPTION MOTION

A method includes determining, for a robotic device that comprises a perception system, a robot planner state representing at least one future path for the robotic device in an environment. The method also includes determining a perception system trajectory by inputting at least the robot planner state into a machine learning model trained based on training data comprising at least a plurality of robot planner states corresponding to a plurality of operator-directed perception system trajectories. The method further includes controlling, by the robotic device, the perception system to move through the determined perception system trajectory.
