Body Growth Effect in Reinforcement Learning

Summary I believe that the body growth accelerates the learning of actions, such as standing up in higher forms of lives. While, the slow learning is a serious problem in reinforcement learning. Here, it was verified whether the body growth accelerates the learning in a simple standing-up task. It was shown that even though the pendulum could not learn to stand-up when its arm was long, it could learn when the arm become longer from short state during learning.
