Hindsight Experience Replay (HER) is a technique that enables sample-efficient learning from sparse and binary rewards in Reinforcement Learning (RL). It allows the use of any off-policy RL algorithm and can be viewed as a form of implicit curriculum learning. The method works by replaying experiences with different goals, enabling the algorithm to learn from both successful and unsuccessful attempts. This approach is particularly useful in environments where rewards are sparse and binary, as it allows the agent to learn from the outcomes of actions even when the reward is not immediately given. The paper demonstrates HER on tasks involving robotic manipulation, such as pushing, sliding, and pick-and-place. The experiments show that HER significantly improves learning efficiency and enables the successful completion of tasks even when rewards are sparse. Policies trained in simulation can be deployed on physical robots, demonstrating the practical applicability of HER. HER is implemented by modifying the replay buffer to include experiences with different goals, allowing the algorithm to learn from the outcomes of actions even when the original goal was not achieved. This approach is effective in both multi-goal and single-goal settings, and it performs well with sparse rewards compared to shaped rewards. The method is compatible with various RL algorithms, including DQN and DDPG, and has been shown to improve performance in both simulated and real-world environments. The paper also discusses the challenges of reward shaping and shows that HER can overcome these challenges by learning from sparse rewards without requiring domain-specific knowledge. The results indicate that HER is a crucial component in learning from sparse, binary rewards and that it can be applied to a wide range of tasks, including complex robotic manipulation. The approach has been successfully tested on both simulated and physical robots, demonstrating its effectiveness and practical relevance.Hindsight Experience Replay (HER) is a technique that enables sample-efficient learning from sparse and binary rewards in Reinforcement Learning (RL).
