# Device and method for controlling a robot device

## Abstract

According to various embodiments, a method for controlling a robot device is described, comprising providing demonstrations for movements of the robot device, wherein each demonstration demonstrates dynamics of the robot device by indicating a sequence of states of the robot device in an ambient space, encoding states of the robot device which the robot device traverses in the demonstrations to encoded states in a latent space by an encoding function which maps states from the ambient space to the latent space, determining a vector field in the latent space representing the demonstrated dynamics, generating a reshaped vector field by reshaping the vector field in the latent space, generating a vector field in the ambient space by mapping the reshaped vector field to ambient space according to the decoding function and controlling the robot device to follow the generated vector field in ambient space.
