Welcome to the world of MO-Gymnasium, an innovative open-source Python library designed to stream-line the development and comparison of multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) algorithms. This user-friendly guide will help you step into the role of a multi-objective reinforcement learning developer with ease!

What is MO-Gymnasium?

MO-Gymnasium is akin to a multi-tool for reinforcement learning enthusiasts, providing a standardized API that facilitates communication between various learning algorithms and diverse environments. The environments in MO-Gymnasium operate on the established Gymnasium API but deliver vectorized rewards as numpy arrays, streamlining the process of managing multiple objectives in reinforcement learning.

Why Use MO-Gymnasium?

• Standardization: Offers a uniform way to develop and compare MORL algorithms.
• Flexibility: Includes classical environments and variations from the MORL literature.
• Community Support: Engage with the public Discord server for collaboration and assistance.

Installing MO-Gymnasium

Before you dive into harnessing the capabilities of MO-Gymnasium, you need to install it on your system. The installation process is straightforward:

pip install mo-gymnasium

This command installs the base library, but if you want to include additional environment dependencies (like MuJoco), you can choose from the following:

pip install mo-gymnasium[mujoco]

pip install mo-gymnasium[all]

API Usage: A User-Friendly Introduction

If the MO-Gymnasium API were a theme park, the Python environment classes would be the various attractions. Let’s ride on the “minecart-v0” rollercoaster as an example:

import gymnasium as gym
import mo_gymnasium as mo_gym
import numpy as np

# Initialize the environment 
env = mo_gym.make('minecart-v0')
obs, info = env.reset()

# Take a step in the environment
next_obs, vector_reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(your_agent.act(obs))

# Optionally, scalarize the reward function
env = mo_gym.LinearReward(env, weight=np.array([0.8, 0.2, 0.2]))

In this analogy, think of the `env` variable as your ride vehicle, `obs` as your starting view, and `next_obs`, `vector_reward`, `terminated`, and `truncated` as the various twists and turns you experience along the journey! Additionally, using the `LinearReward` wrapper allows you to customize your ride experience based on weighted rewards.

Troubleshooting Your Installation

If you encounter any issues during installation or usage, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure you have the latest version of Python installed, as MO-Gymnasium is compatible with Python 3.7 and above.
• If you experience installation issues for specific environments, check if the necessary system dependencies are installed and consult the documentation for any required setup.
• Join our community on Discord for real-time support and collaboration opportunities.
