Robot learning methods typically rely either on learning from large-scale simulation modeling and transferring to real-world settings or by collecting real-world interaction data on the target robot. While this paradigm has been successful for solving simple tasks in structured environments, it may fall short for tasks that are hard to simulate accurately (e.g. in off-road racing) and where data collection may be expensive (e.g. micro UAVs)
