Abstract
Flatlandis a simple, lightweight environment for fastprototyping and testing of reinforcement learning agents. It is oflower complexity compared to similar 3D platforms (e.g. Deep-Mind Lab or VizDoom), but emulates physical properties of thereal world, such as continuity, multi-modal partially-observablestates with first-person view and coherent physics. We proposeto use it as an intermediary benchmark for problems related toLifelong Learning.Flatlandis highly customizable and offers awide range of task difficulty to extensively evaluate the propertiesof artificial agents. We experiment with three reinforcementlearning baseline agents and show that they can rapidly solvea navigation task inFlatland. A video of an agent acting inFlatlandis available here: https://youtu.be/I5y6Y2ZypdA.
