The Balloon Learning Environment - flying stratospheric balloons with deep reinforcement learning.

Overview

Balloon Learning Environment

Docs



The Balloon Learning Environment (BLE) is a simulator for stratospheric balloons. It is designed as a benchmark environment for deep reinforcement learning algorithms, and is a followup to the Nature paper "Autonomous navigation of stratospheric balloons using reinforcement learning".

Getting Started

Note: The BLE requires python >= 3.7

The BLE can easily be installed with pip:

pip install --upgrade pip && pip install balloon_learning_environment

Once the package has been installed, you can test it runs correctly by evaluating one of the benchmark agents:

python -m balloon_learning_environment.eval.eval \
  --agent=station_seeker \
  --renderer=matplotlib \
  --suite=micro_eval \
  --output_dir=/tmp/ble/eval

Ensure the BLE is Using Your GPU/TPU

The BLE contains a VAE for generating winds, which you will probably want to run on your accelerator. See the jax documentation for installing with GPU or TPU.

As a sanity check, you can open interactive python and run:

from balloon_learning_environment.env import balloon_env
env = balloon_env.BalloonEnv()

If you are not running with GPU/TPU, you should see a log like:

WARNING:absl:No GPU/TPU found, falling back to CPU. (Set TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL=0 and rerun for more info.)

If you don't see this log, you should be good to go!

Next Steps

For more information, see the docs.
