HRL is a promising approach to extend traditional Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods to solve more complex tasks.

HIerarchical Reinforcement learning with Off-policy correction (HIRO)

• Beyond DQN/A3C: A Survey in Advanced Reinforcement Learning | Joyce Xu - Towards Data Science
• Data-Efficient Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning | O. Nachum, S. Gu, H. Lee, and S. Levine - Google Brain

HIRO can be used to learn highly complex behaviors for simulated robots, such as pushing objects and utilizing them to reach target locations, learning from only a few million samples, equivalent to a few days of real-time interaction. In comparisons with a number of prior HRL methods.
