Recently, reinforcement learning has led to dexterous manipulation skills of increasing complexity. Nonetheless, learning these skills in simulation still exhibits poor sample-efficiency which stems from the fact these skills are learned from scratch without the benefit of any domain expertise. In this work, we aim to improve the sample efficiency of learning dexterous in-hand manipulation skills ...
