Abstract
A method for controlling a robot device. The method includes: acquiring an image of an environment of the robot device; processing the image using a neural network, which outputs from the image a respective value image with pixel values for multiple pixels for at least one action parameter value, the pixel value for each pixel indicating an evaluation of an action specified by the action parameter value and the position of the pixel in the value image; selecting, from multiple actions, the particular action from among the multiple actions for which the pixel value of the pixel in the value image is at a maximum for the action parameter value at the position that specifies the action together with the action parameter value; and controlling the robot device to carry out the selected action.
