Shepherding is an open-source simulation framework designed for reinforcement learning researchers and developers to study and implement multi-agent herding tasks. It provides a Gym-compatible environment where agents can be trained to perform behaviors such as flanking, collecting, and dispersing target groups across continuous or discrete spaces. The framework includes modular reward shaping functions, environment parameterization, and logging utilities for monitoring training performance. Users can define obstacles, dynamic agent populations, and custom policies using TensorFlow or PyTorch. Visualization scripts generate trajectory plots and video recordings of agent interactions. Shepherding’s modular design allows seamless integration with existing RL libraries, enabling reproducible experiments, benchmarking of novel coordination strategies, and rapid prototyping of AI-driven herding solutions.

Dead-simple self-learning offers developers a dead-simple approach to create and train reinforcement learning agents in Python. The framework abstracts core RL components, such as environment wrappers, policy modules, and experience buffers, into concise interfaces. Users can quickly initialize environments, define custom policies using familiar PyTorch or TensorFlow backends, and execute training loops with built-in logging and checkpointing. The library supports on-policy and off-policy algorithms, enabling flexible experimentation with Q-learning, policy gradients, and actor-critic methods. By reducing boilerplate code, dead-simple self-learning allows practitioners, educators, and researchers to prototype algorithms, test hypotheses, and visualize agent performance with minimal configuration. Its modular design also facilitates integration with existing ML stacks and custom environments.
