Motion Primitive

A parameterized, reusable unit of robot motion: a short trajectory segment or controller that can be composed into longer behaviors. Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) are a classic motion primitive formulation that encodes demonstrated trajectories in a stable attractor system. Motion primitives enable rapid adaptation to new task parameters by adjusting primitive parameters rather than relearning from scratch.
