Reinforcement learning in ROS

So far, we have seen how to implement reinforcement learning algorithms such as Q-learning and SARSA in OpenAI Gym. Now, we shall look into the following examples and implementations of reinforcement learning in ROS:

• gym-gazebo by Erlerobot
• gym-gazebo2 by Acutronic robotics

Let's look at them in detail.

gym-gazebo

gym-gazebo is an OpenAI Gym extension for Gazebo. This extension makes use of an ROS-Gazebo combination to train robots with reinforcement learning algorithms. In the previous chapters, we saw how ROS and Gazebo can be used to solve robotics applications or proof of concepts in simulations that, to an extent, emulate reality. This extension helps us to use this combination in...
