# Excavator Notes ### Result: **Didn't** start training or training **interupted** * Used all the RL features, PPO + LSTM + behavioral_cloning + GAIL + curiosity * More than 2 training environments ### To start the training successfully * Reduced number of RL features and reduced some hyperparameter values * Reduced number objects(like stones) in the environment ### 9-10 (Fri) changes * Limited the range of swing-rotation, so that random space reduces * changed starting swing-angle to an angle between the container and the truck, so that it is faster to learn the important movements * Reduced the number of stones and increased its size so that training can be faster and episode length is reduced * Added a new Episode End condition such that moving only 1 stone is enough to get max reward * ![](https://i.imgur.com/hqhZ22a.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/9gRdqkX.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/Ny7Uwru.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/MbYrwrc.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/Af5NNgY.png)
