Avoid Task¶
The avoid task calculates a reward based on the distance between the agent and an actor to avoid, with an option to incorporate whether the actor to avoid can see the agent.
If OnlyWithinSight is false, then the reward is set to the the percent distance
covered from the MinDistance to the ToAvoid Actor. The closer ToAvoid is, the lower
the reward.
If OnlyWithinSight is true, the reward calculation is the same as above if the
angle from the ToAvoid to the agent is less than FOVRadians and is there is
nothing blocking the ToAvoid’s line of sight. Otherwise the reward is 100.
The reward will be a value 0 to 100
Configuration¶
Each of the following parameters can be placed in the configuration field for an avoid task sensor (see scenario files.)
OnlyWithinSight¶
Boolean value indicating if the reward should be calculated only when the agent is within the ToAvoid actor’s field of view.
"OnlyWithinSight": true
FOVRadians¶
Float value, the field of view of the agent, in radians. See above how this is used in the reward calculation.
"FOVRadians": 1.5
StartSocket¶
The socket of the ToAvoid actor that its vision is calculated from.
"StartSocket": "head"
EndSocket¶
The socket of the agent that the ToAvoid actor needs to see for the vision calculation.
"EndSocket": "body"
Example¶
{
"ToAvoid": "hunter",
"OnlyWithinSight": true,
"FOVRadains": 2.0,
"MinDistance": 1000.0,
"StartSocket": "head",
"EndSocket": "body"
}
