In this work, the robotic manipulation of a highly Deformable Linear Object (DLO) is addressed by means of a sequence of pick-and-drop primitives driven by visual data. A decision making process learns the optimal grasping location exploiting deep Q-learning and finds the best releasing point from a path representation of the DLO shape. The system effectively combines a state-of-the-art algorithm for semantic segmentation specifically designed for DLOs with deep reinforcement learning. Experimental results show that our system is capable to manipulate a DLO into a variety of different shapes in few steps. The intermediate steps of deformation that lead the object from its initial configuration to the target one are also provided and analyzed.
