Navigation MDP
A simple library for experimenting with Markov Decision Process (MDP). Designed specifically for studying Navigation problems.
MDP is defined by states S, dynamics T, actions A, and rewards R. The design philosophy of this library is that each entity in the MDP is a separate object. State is the central entity. Everything else is optional, and can be defined and attached to the states as per the need.
Installation
To install current release with pip:
pip install navigation-mdp
To install from source:
python setup.py install
Usage
If you're curious what it can do:
1. View examples in the notebook
2. Play with it on Google Colab
3. Play with it on MyBinder
Example
Create a 3 x 3 state space:
S = DiscreteStateSpace(3,3)
Attach indicator features:
S.attach_feature_spec(FeatureStateIndicatorOneHot("ind"))
Visualize the world:
p = NavGridView(S.features(key="ind", gridded=True)[..., np.newaxis, np.newaxis]).render().ticks().grid()
plt.colorbar(p.im)
