tf_agents.environments.ObservationFilterWrapper

Filters observations based on an array of indexes.

Inherits From: PyEnvironmentBaseWrapper, PyEnvironment

tf_agents.environments.ObservationFilterWrapper(
    env: tf_agents.environments.PyEnvironment,
    idx: Union[Sequence[int], np.ndarray],
    handle_auto_reset: bool = False
)

Note that this wrapper only supports single-dimensional observations.

env Environment to wrap.
idx Array of indexes pointing to elements to include in output.
handle_auto_reset When True the base class will handle auto_reset of the Environment.

ValueError If observation spec is nested.
ValueError If indexes are not single-dimensional.
ValueError If no index is provided.
ValueError If one of the indexes is out of bounds.

batch_size The batch size of the environment.
batched Whether the environment is batched or not.

If the environment supports batched observations and actions, then overwrite this property to True.

A batched environment takes in a batched set of actions and returns a batched set of observations. This means for all numpy arrays in the input and output nested structures, the first dimension is the batch size.

When batched, the left-most dimension is not part of the action_spec or the observation_spec and corresponds to the batch dimension.

When batched and handle_auto_reset, it checks np.all(steps.is_last()).

Methods

action_spec

View source

action_spec() -> tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArray

Defines the actions that should be provided to step().

May use a subclass of ArraySpec that specifies additional properties such as min and max bounds on the values.

Returns
An ArraySpec, or a nested dict, list or tuple of ArraySpecs.

close

View source

close() -> None

Frees any resources used by the environment.

Implement this method for an environment backed by an external process.

This method be used directly

env = Env(...)
# Use env.
env.close()

or via a context manager

with Env(...) as env:
  # Use env.

current_time_step

View source

current_time_step() -> tf_agents.trajectories.TimeStep

Returns the current timestep.

discount_spec

View source

discount_spec() -> tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArraySpec

Defines the discount that are returned by step().

Override this method to define an environment that uses non-standard discount values, for example an environment with array-valued discounts.

Returns
An ArraySpec, or a nested dict, list or tuple of ArraySpecs.

get_info

View source

get_info() -> Any

Returns the environment info returned on the last step.

Returns
Info returned by last call to step(). None by default.

Raises
NotImplementedError If the environment does not use info.

get_state

View source

get_state() -> Any

Returns the state of the environment.

The state contains everything required to restore the environment to the current configuration. This can contain e.g.

  • The current time_step.
  • The number of steps taken in the environment (for finite horizon MDPs).
  • Hidden state (for POMDPs).

Callers should not assume anything about the contents or format of the returned state. It should be treated as a token that can be passed back to set_state() later.

Note that the returned state handle should not be modified by the environment later on, and ensuring this (e.g. using copy.deepcopy) is the responsibility of the environment.

Returns
state The current state of the environment.

observation_spec

View source

observation_spec() -> tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArraySpec

Defines the observations provided by the environment.

May use a subclass of ArraySpec that specifies additional properties such as min and max bounds on the values.

Returns
An ArraySpec, or a nested dict, list or tuple of ArraySpecs.

render

View source

render(
    mode: Text = 'rgb_array'
) -> tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArray

Renders the environment.

Args
mode One of ['rgb_array', 'human']. Renders to an numpy array, or brings up a window where the environment can be visualized.

Returns
An ndarray of shape [width, height, 3] denoting an RGB image if mode is rgb_array. Otherwise return nothing and render directly to a display window.

Raises
NotImplementedError If the environment does not support rendering.

reset

View source

reset() -> tf_agents.trajectories.TimeStep

Starts a new sequence and returns the first TimeStep of this sequence.

Returns
A TimeStep namedtuple containing: step_type: A StepType of FIRST. reward: 0.0, indicating the reward. discount: 1.0, indicating the discount. observation: A NumPy array, or a nested dict, list or tuple of arrays corresponding to observation_spec().

reward_spec

View source

reward_spec() -> tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArraySpec

Defines the rewards that are returned by step().

Override this method to define an environment that uses non-standard reward values, for example an environment with array-valued rewards.

Returns
An ArraySpec, or a nested dict, list or tuple of ArraySpecs.

seed

View source

seed(
    seed: tf_agents.typing.types.Seed
) -> tf_agents.typing.types.Seed

Seeds the environment.

Args
seed Value to use as seed for the environment.

set_state

View source

set_state(
    state: Any
) -> None

Restores the environment to a given state.

See definition of state in the documentation for get_state().

Args
state A state to restore the environment to.

should_reset

View source

should_reset(
    current_time_step: tf_agents.trajectories.TimeStep
) -> bool

Whether the Environmet should reset given the current timestep.

By default it only resets when all time_steps are LAST.

Args
current_time_step The current TimeStep.

Returns
A bool indicating whether the Environment should reset or not.

step

View source

step(
    action: tf_agents.typing.types.NestedArray
) -> tf_agents.trajectories.TimeStep

Updates the environment according to the action and returns a TimeStep.

If the environment returned a TimeStep with StepType.LAST at the previous step the implementation of _step in the environment should call reset to start a new sequence and ignore action.

This method will start a new sequence if called after the environment has been constructed and reset has not been called. In this case action will be ignored.

If should_reset(current_time_step) is True, then this method will reset by itself. In this case action will be ignored.

Args
action A NumPy array, or a nested dict, list or tuple of arrays corresponding to action_spec().

Returns
A TimeStep namedtuple containing: step_type: A StepType value. reward: A NumPy array, reward value for this timestep. discount: A NumPy array, discount in the range [0, 1]. observation: A NumPy array, or a nested dict, list or tuple of arrays corresponding to observation_spec().

time_step_spec

View source

time_step_spec() -> tf_agents.trajectories.TimeStep

Describes the TimeStep fields returned by step().

Override this method to define an environment that uses non-standard values for any of the items returned by step(). For example, an environment with array-valued rewards.

Returns
A TimeStep namedtuple containing (possibly nested) ArraySpecs defining the step_type, reward, discount, and observation structure.

wrapped_env

wrapped_env() -> Any

__enter__

View source

__enter__()

Allows the environment to be used in a with-statement context.

__exit__

View source

__exit__(
    unused_exception_type, unused_exc_value, unused_traceback
)

Allows the environment to be used in a with-statement context.
