yeah the current motor model takes the desired position as input and convert it to torque (applying some 'noise' trying mimic the real motors).

Maybe the cost of the robot..? It wouldn’t be cheap I guess.. but yeah definitely a great application of robotics.

Well done! Btw I do agree with you regarding the knowledge transfer on the real robot platform. The open source design is built to work with very cheap servos and the alinement is not quite easy too.

As you, I was totally new to RL when I started (almost 1 year ago) - I’m a DevOps engineer during the day :) The goal of this project for me is learning ML more than build a product - that’s why the limited focus on hw implementation. Anyway, there are examples on the web on how to run the policies on the real world robot (even using ROS) - maybe in the future I’ll digging in this topic as well!

Very honestly, I’ve started looking at CV since I’ve integrated the robotic arm in my model (a couple of days ago :)). I‘m actually searching paper/project on it - My next step is the “open a door” task

This would require a very good image recognition software! Anyway yeah I do agree that agricultural robots are quite interesting and profitable at least in the near future.

Awesome! Any PR is welcome. In the meanwhile I’ll have a look at your rt-rrt implementation.

Oh well I can definitely add a vac-env on my todo list :D

thank you very much! any feedback is welcome!

Re the maze, I've got just the terrain so far - I'm working on the gym environment.. I was thinking to write 2 different versions of it, one in which the robot has a map of the maze and navigate it using a path finding algo (probably A*) and another version without any map (I'll probably need a lidar for this).

Thanks!

nope, I'll publish rex-robot repo asap ;)
