1. A system configured for determining a saliency map, the system comprising:

  • a first sensing apparatus configured to provide sensory input associated with a task being executed by a robotic device operable by a trainer;

    a second sensing apparatus configured to provide information related to a gaze parameter associated with a present gaze of the trainer;

    one or more processors communicatively coupled with one or both of the first sensing apparatus or the second sensing apparatus, the one or more processors being configured to execute computer program instructions to cause the one or more processors to;

    determine one or more features within the sensory input using an adaptive process;

    determine a salient area within the sensory input based on the gaze parameter;

    associate the salient area with at least one of the one or more features; and

    update a learning parameter of the process based on an evaluation of the association;

    wherein;

    the learning process is characterized by a performance measure;

    the update is configured to effectuate autonomous execution of the task by the robotic device in an absence of the trainer; and

    the saliency map comprises the salient area.
