Open Source Reinforcement Learning
Open-source reinforcement learning (RL) environments are rapidly expanding, providing researchers with accessible tools to develop and test RL algorithms across diverse applications. Current research focuses on creating highly customizable and scalable environments for robotics (manipulation, navigation), structural design optimization, and chemical discovery, often employing model-free and model-based algorithms like Proximal Policy Optimization and DreamerV3, alongside evolutionary computation methods. The availability of these open-source platforms fosters collaboration, accelerates algorithm development, and facilitates the transfer of RL techniques to real-world problems, ultimately advancing both the field of AI and its practical applications.
