Patrolling-Zoo offers a flexible framework enabling users to create and experiment with multi-agent patrolling tasks in Python. The library includes a variety of grid-based and graph-based environments, each simulating surveillance, monitoring, and coverage scenarios. Users can configure the number of agents, map size, topology, reward functions, and observation spaces. Through compatibility with PettingZoo and Gym APIs, it supports seamless integration with popular reinforcement learning algorithms. This environment facilitates benchmarking and comparing MARL techniques under consistent settings. By providing standard scenarios and tools to customize new ones, Patrolling-Zoo accelerates research in autonomous robotics, security surveillance, search-and-rescue operations, and efficient area coverage using multi-agent coordination strategies.

gym-multigrid provides a suite of customizable gridworld environments designed for multi-room navigation and exploration tasks in reinforcement learning. Each environment consists of interconnected rooms populated with objects, keys, doors, and obstacles. Users can adjust grid size, room configurations, and object placements programmatically. The library supports both full and partial observation modes, offering RGB or matrix state representations. Actions include movement, object interaction, and door manipulation. By integrating it as a Gym environment, researchers can leverage any Gym-compatible agent, seamlessly training and evaluating algorithms on tasks like key-door puzzles, object retrieval, and hierarchical planning. gym-multigrid’s modular design and minimal dependencies make it ideal for benchmarking new AI strategies.
