What you'll need

  • Software only - Python, PyTorch, OpenAI Gym, MuJoCo sim, tensorboard

Steps

  1. Pick a simulated environment in Gym or MuJoCo.
  2. Implement or set up PPO or DQN in PyTorch.
  3. Train the agent and track learning curves in TensorBoard.
  4. Tune hyperparameters to improve performance.
  5. Record the final policy in action.
  6. Document learning curves and results for your portfolio.

What to photograph for your portfolio

  • Learning curve graph
  • final policy performance video
  • reward accumulation plots
  • hyperparameter tuning results

  • Designed and built a reinforcement learning control agent using Python, reinforcement learning, PyTorch/TensorFlow

  • Applied simulation environments (Gym/MuJoCo) and visualization to implement, test, and validate the system end-to-end

  • Quantified performance with [insert your result, such as accuracy, error reduction, response time, or load capacity] after iterative tuning
