Robotic manipulation of cloth is a highly complex task because of its infinite-dimensional shape-state space that makes cloth state estimation very difficult.

A CGPDM is constituted by a low-dimensional latent space, with an associated dynamics where external control variables can act and a mapping to the observation space.

It consists in recognizing, in an open world, the planning action that best explains a partially observable state transition from a knowledge library of first-order STRIPS actions, which is initially empty.

Cloth manipulation is very relevant for domestic robotic tasks, but it presents many challenges due to the complexity of representing, recognizing and predicting the behaviour of cloth under manipulation.

Finally, we compare different combinations of control policy encodings, demonstrations, and sparse reward learning techniques, and show that our proposed approach can learn dynamic cloth manipulation in an efficient way, i. e., using a reduced observation space, a few demonstrations, and a sparse reward.

In addition, we propose a versatile Bayesian framework that endows the robot with the ability to infer the door kinematic model from observations of its motion and learn from previous experiences or human demonstrations.
