Please read the documentation for more details, we provide anaconda env files and docker images.

Learning a State Representation

To learn a state representation, you need to enforce constrains on the representation using one or more losses. For example, to train an autoencoder, you need to use a reconstruction loss. Most losses are not exclusive, that means you can combine them.

All losses are defined in losses/losses.py. The available losses are:

[Experimental]

All possible arguments can be display using python train.py --help. You can limit the training set size (--training-set-size argument), change the minibatch size (-bs), number of epochs (--epochs), ...

Datasets: Simulated Environments and Real Robots

Although the data can be generated easily using the RL repo in simulation (cf Generating Data), we provide datasets with a real baxter:

Examples

You can download an example dataset here.

Train an inverse model:

python train.py --data-folder data/path/to/dataset --losses inverse

Train an autoencoder:

python train.py --data-folder data/path/to/dataset --losses autoencoder

Combining an autoencoder with an inverse model is as easy as:

python train.py --data-folder data/path/to/dataset --losses autoencoder inverse

You can as well specify the weight of each loss:

python train.py --data-folder data/path/to/dataset --losses autoencoder:1 inverse:10

Please read the documentation for more examples.

Running Tests

Download the test datasets kuka_gym_test and kuka_gym_dual_test and put it in data/ folder.

./run_tests.sh

Troubleshooting

CUDA out of memory error

  1. python train.py --data-folder data/staticButtonSimplest
    RuntimeError: cuda runtime error (2) : out of memory at /b/wheel/pytorch-src/torch/lib/THC/generic/THCStorage.cu:66

SOLUTION 1: Decrease the batch size, e.g. 32-64 in GPUs with little memory.

SOLUTION 2 Use simple 2-layers neural network model python train.py --data-folder data/staticButtonSimplest --model-type mlp
