• To implement the Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm

For this lab, you will turn in a colab notebook that implements the proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm.

Your notebook will be graded on the following:

• 45% Proper design, creation and debugging of an actor and critic networks
• 45% Proper implementation of the PPO loss function and objective
• 10% Visualization of policy return as a function of training

For this lab, you will implement the PPO algorithm, and train it on a few simple worlds.

Here is the paper with a technical description of the algorithm: Proximal policy optimization.

Here is a video describing it at a high level: PPO video
