Abstract
A method of controlling a robotic device. The method includes generating a robot control model for performing a task, wherein the robot control model comprises parameters which influence the performance of the task, adjusting the parameters of the robot control model by optimizing a target function which evaluates the adherence to at least one condition with respect to the temporal progression of at least one continuous sensor signal when performing the task, and controlling the robotic device according to the robot control model in order to perform the task using the adjusted parameters.
