Learning from Demonstration (LfD) has been used in robotics research for the last decades to solve issues pertaining to conventional programming of robots. This framework enables a robot to learn a task simply from a human demonstration. However, it is unfeasible to teach a robot all possible scenarios, which may lead to e.g. the robot getting stuck. In order to solve this, a search is necessary. However, no current work is able to provide a search approach that is both simple and general. This thesis develops and evaluates a new framework based on LfD that combines both of these aspects. A single demonstration of a human search is made and a model of it is learned. From this model a search trajectory is sampled and optimized. Based on that trajectory, a prediction of the encountered environmental forces is made. An impedance controller with feed-forward of the predicted forces is then used to evaluate the algorithm on a Peg-in-Hole task. The final results show that the framework is able to successfully learn and reproduce a search from just one single human demonstration. Ultimately some suggestions are made for further benchmarks and development.
