ITES is designed as an input system for the Learning-from-Observation (LfO) framework, which enables household robots to be programmed using few-shot human demonstrations without the need for coding. In contrast to previous LfO systems that rely solely on visual demonstrations, ITES leverages both verbal instructions and interaction to enhance recognition robustness, thus enabling multimodal LfO. ITES identifies tasks from verbal instructions and extracts parameters from visual demonstrations. Meanwhile, the recognition result was reviewed by the user for interactive correction. Evaluations conducted on a real robot demonstrate the successful teaching of multiple operations for several scenarios, suggesting the usefulness of ITES for multimodal LfO.
