Focus on a reinforcement learning algorithm that can learn from failure

Recent news from the OpenAI people is all about a bonus trio. They are releasing new Gym environments--a set of simulated robotics environments based on real robot platforms--including a Shadow hand and a Fetch research robot, said IEEE Spectrum. In addition to that toolkit, they are releasing an open source version of Hindsight Experience Replay (HER). As its name suggests, it helps robots learn from hindsight, for goals-based robotic tasks. Last but not least, they released a set of requests for robotics research.
