Hands-On Intelligent Agents with OpenAI Gym

Overview of this book

Many real-world problems can be broken down into tasks that require a series of decisions to be made or actions to be taken. The ability to solve such tasks without a machine being programmed requires a machine to be artificially intelligent and capable of learning to adapt. This book is an easy-to-follow guide to implementing learning algorithms for machine software agents in order to solve discrete or continuous sequential decision making and control tasks. Hands-On Intelligent Agents with OpenAI Gym takes you through the process of building intelligent agent algorithms using deep reinforcement learning starting from the implementation of the building blocks for configuring, training, logging, visualizing, testing, and monitoring the agent. You will walk through the process of building intelligent agents from scratch to perform a variety of tasks. In the closing chapters, the book provides an overview of the latest learning environments and learning algorithms, along with pointers to more resources that will help you take your deep reinforcement learning skills to the next level.

Creating Custom OpenAI Gym Environments - CARLA Driving Simulator

In the first chapter, we looked at the various categories of learning environments available in the OpenAI Gym environment catalog. We then explored the list of environments and their nomenclature in Chapter 5, Implementing your First Learning Agent – Solving the Mountain Car problem, as well as a sneak peek into some of them. We also developed our agents to solve the Mountain Car and Cart Pole problems, and a few Atari game environments. By now, then, you should have a good understanding of the various environment types and flavors that are available with OpenAI Gym. Most often, once we learn how to develop our own intelligent agents, we want to use that knowledge and skill to develop intelligent agents to solve new problems, problems that we already face, or even problems that are of interest to us.
