Train RL Agent → Test in Roboschool → Deploy to Real Robot
A complete pipeline for developing and testing reinforcement learning algorithms using Roboschool simulation before real-world deployment.
Workflow Steps
Python/PyTorch
Develop RL algorithm
Create and train your reinforcement learning model using PyTorch or TensorFlow. Define reward functions, neural network architecture, and training parameters for your specific robotics task.
OpenAI Gym + Roboschool
Simulate and test agent
Load your trained model into Roboschool environments. Run thousands of simulation episodes to test performance, collect metrics, and identify edge cases without risking physical hardware.
Weights & Biases
Track performance metrics
Log simulation results, reward curves, and performance statistics. Compare different model versions and hyperparameter configurations to optimize before real-world testing.
ROS (Robot Operating System)
Deploy to physical robot
Convert your validated simulation model to ROS-compatible format and deploy to actual robot hardware. Use the simulation-tested parameters as starting points for real-world fine-tuning.
