Recommended paper 'Deliberate Practice: Learning Robot Skills under a Budget'. The research presents a general approach to robustify manipulation strategies by discovering failure modes in simulation and learning recovery skills. The proposed MetaReSkill algorithm allocates training resources to the most promising recovery policies. Experiments show task success improved from 71% to 92.4% in sim and 90% on real robots.
