a3c-mujoco

Simulated target reaching tasks using the MuJoCo physics engine. The setup is adapted from [1] end-to-end learning setup for solving pixel-driven control of Jaco arm where learning is accomplished using Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C)[2] method with sparse rewards.

Usage:

Run with python main.py <options>.

Dependencies:

• Python 3.5.2
• NumPy
• mujoco-py 1.50.1
• OpenAI Gym
• PyTorch
• Plotly

Note:

Obtain a 30-day free trial on the MuJoCo website or free license if you are a student.
