Reinforcement learning (RL), particularly its combination with deep neuralnetworks referred to as deep RL (DRL), has shown tremendous promise across a widerange of applications, suggesting its potential for enabling the development ofsophisticated robotic behaviors. Robotics problems, however, pose fundamentaldifficulties for the application of RL, stemming from the complexity and cost ofinteracting with the physical world. This article provides a modern survey of DRLfor robotics, with a particular focus on evaluating the real-world successesachieved with DRL in realizing several key robotic competencies. Our analysisaims to identify the key factors underlying those exciting successes, revealunderexplored areas, and provide an overall characterization of the status of DRLin robotics. We highlight several important avenues for future work, emphasizingthe need for stable and sample-efficient real-world RL paradigms, holisticapproaches for discovering and integrating various competencies to tackle complexlong-horizon, open-world tasks, and principled development and evaluationprocedures. This survey is designed to offer insights for both RL practitionersand roboticists toward harnessing RL's power to create generally capablereal-world robotic systems.
