Feasibility Consistent Representation Learning for Safe Reinforcement Learning

Overview

This repo provides an official implementation of Feasibility Consistent Representation Learning for Safe Reinforcement Learning (ICML 2024). In this paper, we propose a feasibility-based representation learning method to extract safety-related features and improve the safe reinforcement learning.

Installation

1. We recommend to use Anaconda or Miniconda to manage python environment.
2. Create conda env,

   cd FCSRL
   conda env create -f environment.yaml
   conda activate FCSRL

3. Install PyTorch according to your platform and cuda version.
4. Install FCSRL,

   pip install -e .

Training

To run a single experiment, take PointGoal1 for example, run

python scripts/{BASE_RL_ALG}_repr_CMDP.py --env_name SafetyPointGoal1Gymnasium-v0 --cudaid 0 --seed 100

where {BASE_RL_ALG} can be ppo or td3. For other task, you can simply replace PointGoal1 and choose a task from [PointGoal1, PointButton1, PointPush1, PointGoal2, CarGoal1, CarButton1]. You can replace --cudaid 0 to --cudaid -1 to train with CPU.

For image-based task,

python scripts/td3_repr_vision_CMDP.py --env_name SafetyPointGoal2Gymnasium-v0 --cudaid 0 --seed 100

If you need to train and render with CPU, you should modify the environment variable to

os.environ["MUJOCO_GL"] = "osmesa"
os.environ["PYOPENGL_PLATFORM"] = "osmesa"

in script. However, it can be very low if you train without GPU on image-based tasks.
