            Abstract : 
In this work, we propose methods for automatically generating primitive skills from the demonstration of a task. Additionally, we propose methods for improving existing primitive skills, and for automatically and incrementally adding new primitive skills. To validate our proposed methods, we present the experimental results of a human-like robot handling three gestures and a task of making coffee.
