gym-collision-avoidance

Updates:

• 2023-04-28: Updated to be compatible with Python 3.10 and tensorflow 2. Corresponding v0.0.3 available on pypi as well, if you do not intend to modify the source code (python -m pip install gym-collision-avoidance)

This is the code associated with the following publications:

Journal Version: M. Everett, Y. Chen, and J. P. How, "Collision Avoidance in Pedestrian-Rich Environments with Deep Reinforcement Learning", IEEE Access Vol. 9, 2021, pp. 10357-10377. 10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3050338, Arxiv PDF

Conference Version: M. Everett, Y. Chen, and J. P. How, "Motion Planning Among Dynamic, Decision-Making Agents with Deep Reinforcement Learning", IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018. Arxiv PDF, Link to Video

This repo also contains the trained policy for the SA-CADRL paper (referred to as CADRL here) from the proceeding paper: Y. Chen, M. Everett, M. Liu, and J. P. How. “Socially Aware Motion Planning with Deep Reinforcement Learning.” IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). Vancouver, BC, Canada, Sept. 2017. Arxiv PDF
