AbideGym: Turning Static RL Worlds into Adaptive Challenges

Machine Learning 2025-09-26 v1 Multiagent Systems

Abstract

Agents trained with reinforcement learning often develop brittle policies that fail when dynamics shift, a problem amplified by static benchmarks. AbideGym, a dynamic MiniGrid wrapper, introduces agent-aware perturbations and scalable complexity to enforce intra-episode adaptation. By exposing weaknesses in static policies and promoting resilience, AbideGym provides a modular, reproducible evaluation framework for advancing research in curriculum learning, continual learning, and robust generalization.
