For robotic grasping tasks with diverse target objects, some deep learning-based methods have achieved state-of-the-art results using direct visual input. In contrast, actor-critic deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods typically perform very poorly when applied to grasp diverse objects, especially when learning from raw images and sparse rewards. To render these RL techniques feasible for visio...
