Advanced Hello World in Artificial Intelligence

CartPole is considered to be "Hello World" in the field of reinforcement learning.?

It is one of the best tools to test your a.i. algorithms.

We added a bit of a twist to this test.

Instead of mere balancing the pole, we requested our ai to hit multiple of checkpoints located at the side corners of the screen.

As you can see in the animation, it worked marvellously.

What is CartPole test all about?

A pole is attached by an un-actuated joint to a cart, which moves along a frictionless track. The system is controlled by applying a force of +1 or -1 to the cart. The pendulum starts upright, and the goal is to prevent it from falling over. A reward of +1 is provided for every timestep that the pole remains upright. The episode ends when the pole is more than 15 degrees from vertical, or the cart moves more than 2.4 units from the center.
