Learning agents can make use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to decide their actions by using a reward function. However, the learning process is greatly influenced by the elect of values of the parameters used in the learning algorithm. This work proposed a Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) and Hindsight Experience Replay (HER) based method, which makes use of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to fine-tune the parameters' values. This method (GA-DRL) experimented on six robotic manipulation tasks: fetch-reach; fetch-slide; fetch-push; fetch-pick and place; door-opening; and aubo-reach. Analysis of these results demonstrated a significant increase in performance and a decrease in learning time. Also, we compare and provide evidence that GA-DRL is better than the existing methods.
