ARC-RL: A Reinforcement Learning Playground Inspired by ARC Raiders

This repository contains the expert demonstration datasets for ARC-RL, a suite of four MuJoCo continuous-control environments featuring robotic morphologies inspired by the game ARC Raiders.

Robot Morphologies

The benchmark features four unique robotic body plans:

  • 👑 Queen: 18-DoF hexapod.
  • 🛡️ Bastion: 12-DoF armoured hexapod.
  • 🐸 Leaper: 12-DoF quadruped.
  • 🪲 Tick: 18-DoF compact hexapod.

The datasets provided here are hand-crafted Central Pattern Generator (CPG) demonstrations for each morphology, which serve as fixed expert references and as sources of prior data for offline-to-online reinforcement learning algorithms like SACfD, SPEQ-O2O, and SOPE.

Usage

To launch training with prior data (which automatically downloads the necessary files from this repository), use an algorithm like sacfd or sope:

python main.py --algo sacfd --env queen --log-wandb

To regenerate or collect expert episodes manually:

python -m src.utils.collect_dataset --env bastion --n-episodes 1000
