Project description
BARK - a tool for Behavior benchmARKing
BARK is a semantic simulation framework for autonomous agents with a special focus on autonomous driving. Its behavior model-centric design allows for the rapid development, training and benchmarking of various decision-making algorithms. Due to its fast, semantic runtime, it is especially suited for computationally expensive tasks, such as reinforcement learning.
BARK Ecosystem
The BARK ecosystem is composed of multiple components that all share the common goal to develop and benchmark behavior models:
-
BARK-ML: Machine learning library for decision-making in autonomous driving.
-
BARK-MCTS: Integrates a template-based C++ Monte Carlo Tree Search Library into BARK to support development of both single- and multi-agent search methods.
-
BARK-DB: Provides a framework to integrate multiple BARK scenario sets into a database. The database module supports binary seriliazation of randomly generated scenarios to ensure exact reproducibility of behavior benchmarks accross systems.
-
CARLA-Interface: A two-way interface between CARLA and BARK. BARK behavior models can control CARLA vehicles. CARLA controlled vehicles are mirrored to BARK.
Quick Start
Use git clone https://github.com/bark-simulator/bark.git
or download the repository from this page.
Then follow the instructions at How to Install BARK.
Once you activated the virtual environment (source dev_into.sh
), you can explore some examples of BARK.
Highway: bazel run //bark/examples:highway
:
Merging: bazel run //bark/examples:merging
:
Intersection: bazel run //bark/examples:intersection
:
To get step-by-step instructions on how to use BARK, you can run our IPython Notebook tutorials using bazel run //docs/tutorials:run
.
For a more detailed understanding of how BARK works, its concept and use cases have a look at our documentation.
