I hope it grows in popularity if only because its an interesting take on learning. I did a course on RL in 2007 and our textbook was the 1st edition of this book - back then, it was perceived to be a very niche area and a lot of ML practitioners (there weren't many of those either :) ) had only just about heard of RL.

I am happy that it's popular today.

For doing what?

It's definitely finding a niche in robotic control. My lab just released a paper about running a policy trained in simulation in the real world on a bipedal robot.

Doesn't the Roomba use a form of RL?
