rl_reach: Reproducible reinforcement learning experiments for robotic reaching tasks

Abstract Training reinforcement learning agents at solving a given task is highly dependent on identifying optimal sets of hyperparameters and selecting suitable environment input/output configurations. This tedious process could be eased with a straightforward toolbox allowing its user to quickly compare different training parameter sets. We present rl_reach , a self-contained, open-source and easy-to-use software package designed to run reproducible reinforcement learning experiments for customisable robotic reaching tasks. rl_reach packs together training environments, agents, hyperparameter optimisation tools and policy evaluation scripts, allowing its users to quickly investigate and identify optimal training configurations. rl_reach is publicly available at this URL: https://github.com/PierreExeter/rl_reach .
