Abstract
The invention relates to a method for improving operation of at least one robot. The robot is being operated on the basis of a set of predefined actions. A method comprises generating combined actions by combining at least two actions out of a set of original actions stored in an action library. Storing the combined actions in the actions library in addition to the original actions. Applying a reinforcement learning algorithm to the set of actions stored now in the action library to learn a control policy making use of the original actions and the combined actions. And finally, operating the robot on the basis of the resulting action library.
