simple-DVMPC-implemetation

The un-official implementation of Deep Value Model Predictive Control (DVMPC) based on the papers by F.Farshidian and N.Karnchanachari

Algorithm

• Unlike the original paper, this implementation utilized the Cross Entropy Method (CEM) and Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) for MPC optimization.

Environment

2d navigation environment

• The environment is a 2d world with walls and goal.
• the start point : (-14, -10), (-14, 0), (-14, 10)
• the end point : (12, 0)

Usage

Train

• ensemble : if True, train the ensemble model
• seed : seed number (default: 1234)
• render : if True, visualize the agent on the environment
• the default parameters are defined in the params/value_net_cem and params/ensemble_net_mppi.json file.

python3 examples/train_deep_value_mpc.py # train the single deep value mpc

python3 examples/train_deep_value_mpc.py --params_dir params/ensemble_net_mppi.json --ensemble # train the ensemble deep value mpc

Test

• the default load directory is defined in the params/value_net_cem.json or other files.

python3 examples/test_deep_value_mpc.py --params_dir params/value_net_cem.json

python3 examples/test_deep_value_mpc.py --params_dir params/ensemble_net_mppi.json --ensemble
