Welcome to a guide on effectively utilizing the Clean, Robust, and Unified implementation of popular Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms based on PyTorch. Whether you are a seasoned programmer or just embarking on your journey in AI, this article will walk you through the necessary steps and resources to harness the power of these algorithms.

Getting Started with Dependencies

Before diving into the codes, ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• python==3.11.5
• gymnasium==0.29.1
• numpy==1.26.1
• pytorch==2.1.0

If you want to install these dependencies, you can do so using pip:

pip install gymnasium==0.29.1 numpy==1.26.1 torch==2.1.0

How to Execute the Code

To start training a specific algorithm, navigate to the folder of your chosen algorithm and run the main.py file:

cd [algorithm_folder_name]
python main.py

For additional configurations or options, please refer to the README.md file in the respective algorithm folder.

Understanding the Code Structure

The algorithms provided in this repository are like tools in a toolbox. Each tool (or algorithm) serves a specific purpose, but sharing common characteristics that make them useful for learning from environments.

Imagine you have different types of smart robots meant for various tasks:

• Q-learning teaches a robot to navigate a maze based on rewards.
• Dueling DQN equips the robot with multiple strategies for decision-making.
• Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) allows a robot to better adapt to changing environments without dramatic shifts in behavior.

These algorithms work cooperatively, with the robot learning through trial and error, refining its strategies as it receives feedback from the environment—much like how we learn by doing and observing outcomes!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any challenges while using the algorithms, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Check if all dependencies are correctly installed and compatible.
• Ensure that you are in the correct directory before executing main.py.
• Read through the README.md file in each algorithm folder for specific configuration requirements.
• Review Python error messages; they often provide hints about what’s wrong.
