## WHAT IS IT?

This model demonstrates the movement of a turtle to a target patch in a 3D environment according to a policy learned by reinforcement learning.

## HOW IT WORKS

The environment the turtle is moving within is a 3 x 3 x 3 cube. The target patch is the patch with maximal coordinates (i.e. 3 3 3). The coordinates of patch the turtle starts moving from are set in a random manner by pressing the respective button. The trajectory is selected based on the policy computed with the aid of {ReinforcementLearning} package in R.

## HOW TO USE IT

The 'Setup' button generates the world (i.e. the cube and the turtle). Original coordinates of the turtle are ( 1 1 1 ). One can start moving the turtle from these coordinates. Other coordinates to start with can be randomly set by pressing 'Set Start Patch' button (after presing 'Setup'). The 'Go' button/procedure will move the turtle to the target patch.

The 'Move' monitor shows the move direction. The moment the turtle reaches the target patch will be displayed as "Win" on the 'Satus' monitor. The number of moves is shown on the respective monitor.

## THINGS TO NOTICE

Both the NetLogo model file and the .csv file with the policy should be located in the same directory. The path to the .csv file should be 'corrected' in NetLogo code based on the actual location of the file on your computer.

## THINGS TO TRY

For a better visualization of the turtle position and trajectory the 3D View can be 'orbited'/moved.

## NETLOGO FEATURES

This is a 3D model based on a policy generated by reinforcement learning, using ReinforcementLearning R package. The '.csv' file with the policy should be located in the same directory where the NetLogo model is downloaded.
