Abstract: "On the quest for building autonomous robots, several robot learning frameworks with different functionalities have + recently been developed. Yet, frameworks that combine diverse learning paradigms (such as imitation and reinforcement learning) + into a common place are scarce. Existing ones tend to be robot-specific, and often require time-consuming work to be used with + other robots. + Also, their architecture is often weakly structured, mainly because of a lack of modularity and flexibility. This leads users + to reimplement several pieces of code to integrate them into their own experimental or benchmarking work. + To overcome these issues, we introduce PyRoboLearn, a new Python robot learning framework that combines different learning + paradigms into a single framework. Our framework provides a plethora of robotic environments, learning models and algorithms. + PyRoboLearn is developed with a particular focus on modularity, flexibility, generality, and simplicity to favor (re)usability. + This is achieved by abstracting each key concept, undertaking a modular programming approach, minimizing the coupling among the + different modules, and favoring composition over inheritance for better flexibility. We demonstrate the different features and + utility of our framework through different use cases."
