Existing autonomous robot navigation systems allow robots to move from one point to another in a collision-free manner. However, when facing new environments, these systems generally require re-tuning by expert roboticists with a good understanding of the inner workings of the navigation system. In contrast, even users who are unversed in the details of robot navigation algorithms can generate desirable navigation behavior in new environments via teleoperation. In this paper, we introduce APPLD, Adaptive Planner Parameter Learning from Demonstration, that allows existing navigation systems to be successfully applied to new complex environments, given only a human-teleoperated demonstration of desirable navigation. APPLD is verified on two robots running different navigation systems in different environments. Experimental results show that APPLD can outperform navigation systems with the default and expert-tuned parameters, and even the human demonstrator themselves.
