Reinforcement Learning – Implementation

Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a framework for tackling sequential decision-making problems in areas like robotics and energy management. But how do you turn a real-world problem into a well-defined RL task?

In this workshop, we move from foundational RL concepts to practical application. In this interactive workshop, we use a simple illustrative example, such as managing an energy storage system, to demonstrate the step-by-step process of translating a given task into a RL setup.

You learn to assess when RL is suitable and, if so, how to design the environment by defining state and action spaces and reward functions, and how to implement it using Python's Gym library.

The goal is to introduce you to the workflow, show you how to evaluate and adjust your framework, and spark curiosity to tackle your own problems with RL.

Requirements

Basic knowledge of Python is recommended.
Basic RL knowledge is recommended (e.g. being familiar with these terms: agent, state, action, reward, policy).
Please bring a laptop to the workshop.
