• Abstract: This paper introduces Unity RL Playground, an open-source reinforcement learning framework built on top of Unity ML-Agents. Unity RL Playground automates the process of training mobile robots to perform various locomotion tasks such as walking, running, and jumping in simulation, with the potential for seamless transfer to real hardware. Key features include one-click training for imported robot models, universal compatibility with diverse robot configurations, multi-mode motion learning capabilities, and extreme performance testing to aid in robot design optimization and morphological evolution.
