TLDR:

  • nominal controllers - where do you get those?
  • skill-chaining
  • Failure Discovery -hand designed here but there are works which show that they can be learnt. They simulate the nominal policies from various initial positions to discover and record the failures.
    • impedance based controllers
  • Traditional recovery learning methods are highly dataset dependent - hence they propose an online RL approach that does not rely on known preconditions.
