This library is currently under heavy development - if you have suggestions on the API or use-cases you'd like to be covered, please open a GitHub issue or reach out. We'd love to hear about how you're using the library.

OmniSafe is an infrastructural framework designed to accelerate safe reinforcement learning (RL) research by providing a comprehensive and reliable benchmark for safe RL algorithms. The field of RL has great potential to benefit the society, and safety concerns are a significant issue, and RL algorithms have raised concerns about unintended harm or unsafe behavior. Safe RL intends to develop algorithms that minimize the risk of unintended harm or unsafe behavior, but there is currently a lack of commonly recognized safe RL algorithm benchmarks.

OmniSafe addresses these issues by providing more than 40 experimentally validated algorithms and a sound and efficient simulation environment. Researchers can use OmniSafe to conduct experiments and verify their ideas, ensuring consistency and enabling more efficient development of safe RL algorithms. By using OmniSafe as a benchmark, researchers can evaluate the performance of their own safe RL algorithms and contribute to the advancement of safe RL research.

pip install omnisafe

omnisafe --help # Ask for help

# Quick training some algorithms to validate your thoughts
# Note: use `key1:key2`, your can select key of hyperparameters which are recursively contained, and use `--custom-cfgs`, you can add custom cfgs via CLI
omnisafe train --algo PPO --total-steps 2048 --vector-env-nums 1 --custom-cfgs algo_cfgs:steps_per_epoch --custom-cfgs 1024
