PyFlyt - UAV Flight Simulator for Reinforcement Learning Research

Comes with Gymnasium and PettingZoo environments built in!

View the documentation here!

This is a library for testing reinforcement learning algorithms on UAVs. This repo is still under development. We are also actively looking for users and developers, if this sounds like you, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Installation

pip3 install wheel numpy
pip3 install pyflyt

numpy and wheel must be installed prior to pyflyt such that pybullet is built with numpy support.

Usage

Usage is similar to any other Gymnasium and PettingZoo environment:

Gymnasium

import gymnasium
import PyFlyt.gym_envs # noqa

env = gymnasium.make("PyFlyt/QuadX-Hover-v1", render_mode="human")
obs = env.reset()

termination = False
truncation = False

while not termination or truncation:
    observation, reward, termination, truncation, info = env.step(env.action_space.sample())

View the official documentation for gymnasium environments here.

PettingZoo

from PyFlyt.pz_envs import MAFixedwingDogfightEnv

env = MAFixedwingDogfightEnv(render_mode="human")
observations, infos = env.reset()

while env.agents:
    # this is where you would insert your policy
    actions = {agent: env.action_space(agent).sample() for agent in env.agents}

    observations, rewards, terminations, truncations, infos = env.step(actions)
env.close()
