Currently, this /// class is expected to be extended to implement the desired agent behavior. /// /// /// Simply speaking, an agent roams through an environment and at each step /// of the environment extracts its current observation, sends them to its /// policy and in return receives an action. In practice, /// however, an agent need not send its observation at every step since very /// little may have changed between successive steps. /// /// At any step, an agent may be considered . /// This could occur due to a variety of reasons: /// - The agent reached an end state within its environment. /// - The agent reached the maximum # of steps (i.e. timed out). /// - The academy reached the maximum # of steps (forced agent to be done). /// /// Here, an agent reaches an end state if it completes its task successfully /// or somehow fails along the way. In the case where an agent is done before /// the academy, it either resets and restarts, or just lingers until the /// academy is done. /// /// An important note regarding steps and episodes is due. Here, an agent step /// corresponds to an academy step, which also corresponds to Unity /// environment step (i.e. each FixedUpdate call). This is not the case for /// episodes. The academy controls the global episode count and each agent /// controls its own local episode count and can reset and start a new local /// episode independently (based on its own experience). Thus an academy /// (global) episode can be viewed as the upper-bound on an agents episode /// length and that within a single global episode, an agent may have completed /// multiple local episodes. Consequently, if an agent max step is /// set to a value larger than the academy max steps value, then the academy /// value takes precedence (since the agent max step will never be reached). /// /// Lastly, note that at any step the policy to the agent is allowed to /// change model with . /// /// Implementation-wise, it is required that this class is extended and the /// virtual methods overridden.
