In principle, reinforcement learning can allow robots to learn on their own. In practice, people need to spend significant effort to define rewards and "reset" the world between trials. Can a robot improve by itself?

Our approach, MEDAL++, has a simple procedure: 1. Human provides a few demos 2. Simultaneously: - learn a task reward function - learn 2 policies to do and undo the task

MEDAL++ allows robots to learn challenging tasks from camera image inputs, with a high degree of autonomy. Some important bits to get it to work: - heavy regularization on learned reward - regularize policy towards demos - wrist-mounted camera - RED-Q (
