Palanisamy P

Praveen Palanisamy works on developing autonomous intelligent systems. He is currently an AI researcher at General Motors R&D. He develops planning and decision-making algorithms and systems that use deep reinforcement learning for autonomous driving. Previously, he was at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, where he worked on autonomous navigation, including perception and AI for mobile robots. He has experience developing complete, autonomous, robotic systems from scratch.

Training the reinforcement learning agent at the Gym

The procedure to train the Q-learning agent may look familiar to you already, because it has many of the same lines of code as, and also a similar structure to, the boilerplate code that we used before. Instead of choosing a random action from the environment's actions space, we now get the action from the agent using the agent.get_action(obs) method. We also call the agent.learn(obs, action, reward, next_obs) method after sending the agent's action to the environment and receiving the feedback. The training function is listed here:

def train(agent, env):
best_reward = -float('inf')
for episode in range(MAX_NUM_EPISODES):
done = False
obs = env.reset()
total_reward = 0.0
while not done:
action = agent.get_action(obs)
next_obs, reward, done, info = env...
