This article discusses the implementation of a Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm to help an agent successfully navigate a maze problem. It elaborates on the project setup, explaining how to gather the necessary code from a GitHub repository and follow the same structure as previous tutorials. Furthermore, it dives into how the agent class is implemented, detailing the processes for calculating the value of states and updating policies based on the values determined. Additionally, it outlines the differences between deterministic and stochastic policies, and emphasizes the importance of understanding dynamic programming’s role in reinforcement learning. Finally, the tutorial culminates in a demonstration of the agent’s ability to reach its goal autonomously.
