Ingredients for Robotics Research

This release includes four environments using the Fetch research platform and four environments using the ShadowHand robot. The manipulation tasks contained in these environments are significantly more difficult than the MuJoCo continuous control environments currently available in Gym, all of which are now easily solvable using recently released algorithms like PPO. Furthermore, our newly released environments use models of real robots and require the agent to solve realistic tasks. FetchReach-v0: Fetch has to move its end-effector to the desired goal position. FetchSlide-v0: Fetch has to hit a puck across a long table such that it slides and comes to rest on the desired goal.
