Requirements

• pytorch
• tqdm
• Pillow
• numpy
• matplotlib
• torchvision
• torch
• Neodroid
• pynput

(Optional)

• visdom
• gym

To install these use the command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Export python path to the repo root so we can use the utilities module

export PYTHONPATH=/path-to-repo/

For training a agent use:

python3 procedures/train_agent.py

For testing a trained agent use:

python3 procedures/test_agent.py

Results

Target Point Estimator

Using Depth, Segmentation And RGB images to estimate the location of target point in an environment.

REINFORCE (PG)

PPO

GA, EVO, IMITATION...

Perfect Information Navigator

Has access to perfect location information about the obstructions and target in the environment, the objective is to navigate to the target with colliding with the obstructions.
