Device and method for operating a robot. As a function of a first state of the robot and/or its surroundings and as a function of an output of a first model, a first part of a manipulated variable for activating the robot for a transition from the first state into a second state of the robot is determined. A second part of the manipulated variable is determined as a function of the first state and regardless of the first model. A quality measure is determined as a function of the first state and of the output of the first model using a second model. A parameter of the first model is determined as a function of the quality measure. A parameter of the second model is determined as a function of the quality measure and a setpoint value. The setpoint value is determined as a function of a reward.

Method and device for operating a robot

A method for planning a manipulation task of an agent, particularly a robot. The method includes: learning a number of manipulation skills wherein a symbolic abstraction of the respective manipulation skill is generated; determining a concatenated sequence of manipulation skills selected from the number of learned manipulation skills based on their symbolic abstraction so that a given goal specification indicating a given complex manipulation task is satisfied; and executing the sequence of manipulation skills.
