Reinforcement Learning (Q-Learning)
Watch an agent learn to navigate a grid world through trial and error. Rewards and penalties guide the agent to discover optimal paths (policies).
Training Metrics
The agent uses Q-learning to navigate to the Goal (green) while avoiding the Pit (red) and Obstacles (black). Arrows show the learned policy; brighter arrows = higher confidence. Once the greedy path reaches the goal and the last 5 episodes succeed, a solid line marks the discovered shortest route.
