  1. We propose a learning‐from‐demonstration approach for grounding actions from expert data and an algorithm for using these actions to perform a task in new environments. Our approach is based on an application of sampling‐based motion planning to search through the tree of discrete, high‐level actions constructed from a symbolic representation of a task. Recursive sampling‐based planning is used to explore the space of possible continuous‐space instantiations of these actions. We demonstrate the utility of our approach with a magnetic structure assembly task, showing that the robot can intelligently select a sequence of actions in different parts of the workspace and in the presence of obstacles. This approach can better adapt to new environments by selecting the correct high‐level actions for the particular environment while taking human preferences into account.

  2. This paper re-traverses the author's investigations across several years as he sought to pin-down the meaning of the in vivo category 'domain'. The paper is a methodological reflection on the grounded theory approach to concept development, with a focus on the technical terms: in vivo category, iteration on the code, and sensitizing category. It is also a substantive theoretical contribution, elaborating the concept of a domain in computing, data and information science, and how it has long served as an organizing principle for developing computational systems. Four tricks of the trade for studying the 'logic of domains' are offered as sensitizing concepts to aid future investigations.
