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." + +- Link to paper: arxiv +- Link to Github repository: https://github.com/robotlearn/pyrobolearn +- Link to documentation: doc +- Link to videos: youtube +- Link to [examples](https://github.com/robotlearn/pyrobolearn/tree/master/examples)
