Learning on real robots from their direct interaction with the environment

We present a new solution to achieve fast and continuous learning and adaptation processes on a real robot, even when the robot receives reinforcement from a human observer. The person does not need to have any kind of robotics knowledge, and will be able to provide the reward signal to the robot with a wireless joystick. Despite this highly-non-deterministic reinforcement, the robot is able to reach the desired behaviour in short periods of time.
