This is an excercise to train an RL agent using DQN to navigate (and collect bananas!) in a large, square world. This is a customised version of Banana Collecter from Unity ML agents.
A reward of +1 is provided for collecting a yellow banana, and a reward of -1 is provided for collecting a blue banana. Thus, the goal of the agent is to collect as many yellow bananas as possible while avoiding blue bananas.
The state space has 37 dimensions and contains the agent's velocity, along with ray-based perception of objects around the agent's forward direction. Given this information, the agent has to learn how to best select actions.
Four discrete actions are available, corresponding to:
0- walk forward1- walk backward2- turn left3- turn right
This is an episodic task, in order to solve the environment, the agent must get an average score of +13 over 100 consecutive episodes.
