This live project does a very good job guiding the learner in the reinforcement learning topic. Having the opportunity to play with OpenAI gave me a good basic understanding of how this approach to machine learning works. Someone who is looking to learn reinforcement learning will definitely find this beneficial.
Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll investigate reinforcement learning approaches that will allow autonomous robotic carts to navigate a warehouse floor without any bumps and crashes. Your challenges will include teaching warehouse navigation with tabular Q-learning, leveraging neural networks and Deep Q-Network models to avoid collisions, and putting together a simulation environment to handle custom reinforcement learning problems.
Please note: This project recommends using Colab Pro, which is an additional cost outside this project.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
Manning author Hans Gunnoo shares what he likes about the Manning liveProject platform.
book and video resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books and videos for 90 days.
A genuinely interesting project. The scenario makes sense, relates to the real world and is interesting. It is good material, relevant and really interesting.
All in all, a very satisfying liveProject. Reinforcement Learning is very useful in simulating environments, sophisticated AI, robotics, and could be key to bring AI closer to AGI [Artificial General Intelligence].
prerequisites
This liveProject is for intermediate Python programmers familiar with deep learning and object-oriented programming. To begin this liveProject, you will need to be familiar with:TOOLS
- Basics of Jupyter Notebook
- Basics of NumPy
- Basics of Matplotlib
- Intermediate PyTorch
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn how to identify problems that can be solved with reinforcement learning and how to implement RL solutions. As one of the three fundamental machine learning paradigms, reinforcement learning is an essential part of any machine learning resume.- Interacting with a pre-built OpenAI environment
- Working with matrices and agent exploration using NumPy
- Implementing Q-learning
- Visualizing performance evolution with Matplotlib
- Incorporating deep learning to replace the Q-table with a neural network
- Using deep reinforcement learning techniques to improve algorithm performance
- Create your own reinforcement learning environment
