Rowel Atienza

Rowel Atienza is an Associate Professor at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. He holds the Dado and Maria Banatao Institute Professorial Chair in Artificial Intelligence. Rowel has been fascinated with intelligent robots since he graduated from the University of the Philippines. He received his MEng from the National University of Singapore for his work on an AI-enhanced four-legged robot. He finished his Ph.D. at The Australian National University for his contribution on the field of active gaze tracking for human-robot interaction. Rowel's current research work focuses on AI and computer vision. He dreams on building useful machines that can perceive, understand, and reason. To help make his dreams become real, Rowel has been supported by grants from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Samsung Research Philippines, and Commission on Higher Education-Philippine California Advanced Research Institutes (CHED-PCARI).

Q-Learning on OpenAI gym

Before presenting another example, there appears to be a need for a suitable RL simulation environment. Otherwise, we can only run RL simulations on very simple problems like in the previous example. Fortunately, OpenAI created Gym, https://gym.openai.com.

The gym is a toolkit for developing and comparing RL algorithms. It works with most deep learning libraries, including Keras. The gym can be installed by running the following command:

$ sudo pip3 install gym

The gym has several environments where an RL algorithm can be tested against such as toy text, classic control, algorithmic, Atari, and 2D/3D robots. For example, FrozenLake-v0 (Figure 9.5.1) is a toy text environment similar to the simple deterministic world used in the Q-Learning in Python example. FrozenLake-v0 has 12 states. The state marked S is the starting state, F is the frozen part of the lake which is safe, H is the Hole state that should be avoided, and G is the Goal state where the frisbee...
