VisualEnv: visual Gym environments with Blender

Andrea Scorsoglio, Roberto Furfaro

In this paper VisualEnv, a new tool for creating visual environment for reinforcement learning is introduced. It is the product of an integration of an open-source modelling and rendering software, Blender, and a python module used to generate environment model for simulation, OpenAI Gym. VisualEnv allows the user to create custom environments with photorealistic rendering capabilities and full integration with python. The framework is described and tested on a series of example problems that showcase its features for training reinforcement learning agents.
