class Environment[source]¶

Bases: abc.ABC

Inheritance diagram of garage._environment.Environment

The main API for garage environments.

The public API methods are:

Functions
reset()
step()
render()
visualize()
close()

Set the following properties:

Properties	Description
action_space	The action space specification
observation_space	The observation space specification
spec	The environment specifications
render_modes	The list of supported render modes

Example of a simple rollout loop:

env = MyEnv()
policy = MyPolicy()
first_observation, episode_info = env.reset()
env.visualize()  # visualization window opened

episode = []
# Determine the first action
first_action = policy.get_action(first_observation, episode_info)
episode.append(env.step(first_action))

while not episode[-1].last():
   action = policy.get_action(episode[-1].observation)
   episode.append(env.step(action))

env.close()  # visualization window closed

Make sure your environment is pickle-able:

Garage pickles the environment via the cloudpickle module to save snapshots of the experiment. However, some environments may contain attributes that are not pickle-able (e.g. a client-server connection). In such cases, override __setstate__() and __getstate__() to add your custom pickle logic.

You might want to refer to the EzPickle module: https://github.com/openai/gym/blob/master/gym/utils/ezpickle.py for a lightweight way of pickle and unpickle via constructor arguments.

abstract property action_space¶

The action space specification.

Type: akro.Space

abstract property observation_space¶

The observation space specification.

Type: akro.Space

abstract property spec¶

The environment specification.

Type: EnvSpec

abstract property render_modes¶

A list of string representing the supported render modes.

See render() for a list of modes.

Type: list

abstract reset()[source]¶

Resets the environment.

Returns

The first observation conforming to: observation_space.
dict: The episode-level information.: Note that this is not part of env_info provided in step(). It contains information of he entire episode， which could be needed to determine the first action (e.g. in the case of goal-conditioned or MTRL.)

Return type

numpy.ndarray

abstract step(action)[source]¶

Steps the environment with the action and returns a EnvStep.

If the environment returned the last EnvStep of a sequence (either of type TERMINAL or TIMEOUT) at the previous step, this call to step() will start a new sequence and action will be ignored.

If spec.max_episode_length is reached after applying the action and the environment has not terminated the episode, step() should return a EnvStep with step_type==StepType.TIMEOUT.

If possible, update the visualization display as well.

Parameters: action (object) – A NumPy array, or a nested dict, list or tuple of arrays conforming to action_space.
Returns: The environment step resulting from the action.
Return type: EnvStep
Raises: RuntimeError – if step() is called after the environment has been constructed and reset() has not been called.

abstract render(mode)[source]¶

Renders the environment.

The set of supported modes varies per environment. By convention, if mode is:

rgb_array: Return an numpy.ndarray with shape (x, y, 3) and type
uint8, representing RGB values for an x-by-y pixel image, suitable for turning into a video.
ansi: Return a string (str) or StringIO.StringIO containing a
terminal-style text representation. The text can include newlines and ANSI escape sequences (e.g. for colors).

Make sure that your class’s render_modes includes the list of supported modes.

For example:

class MyEnv(Environment):
    def render_modes(self):
        return ['rgb_array', 'ansi']

    def render(self, mode):
        if mode == 'rgb_array':
            return np.array(...)  # return RGB frame for video
        elif mode == 'ansi':
            ...  # return text output
        else:
            raise ValueError('Supported render modes are {}, but '
                             'got render mode {} instead.'.format(
                                 self.render_modes, mode))

Parameters: mode (str) – the mode to render with. The string must be present in self.render_modes.

abstract visualize()[source]¶

Creates a visualization of the environment.

This function should be called only once after reset() to set up the visualization display. The visualization should be updated when the environment is changed (i.e. when step() is called.)

Calling close() will deallocate any resources and close any windows created by visualize(). If close() is not explicitly called, the visualization will be closed when the environment is destructed (i.e. garbage collected).

abstract close()[source]¶

Closes the environment.

This method should close all windows invoked by visualize().

Override this function in your subclass to perform any necessary cleanup.

Environments will automatically close() themselves when they are garbage collected or when the program exits.

class Wrapper(env)[source]¶

Bases: Environment

Inheritance diagram of garage._environment.Wrapper

A wrapper for an environment that implements the Environment API.

property action_space¶

Returns: The environment step resulting from the action.
Return type: EnvStep

reset()[source]¶

Reset the wrapped env.

Returns

The first observation conforming to: observation_space.
dict: The episode-level information.: Note that this is not part of env_info provided in step(). It contains information of he entire episode， which could be needed to determine the first action (e.g. in the case of goal-conditioned or MTRL.)

Return type

numpy.ndarray

render(mode)[source]¶

Render the wrapped environment.

Parameters: mode (str) – the mode to render with. The string must be present in self.render_modes.
Returns: the return value for render, depending on each env.
