I'm working on building a system to play the arcade game Robotron 2084 directly on the xbox hardware. I'm doing this using computer vision to see the world and some robotics (an arduino hooked up with an x-arcade controller) to control the xbox. The end goal is to use reinforcement learning to develop an engine to play the game.
I rewrote the robotron game in python using pygame with a focus on allowing it to run using OpenAI Gym protocols. You can see attempts to train it using Stable Baselines 3 in my robotron-rl repo.
My attempts at doing the reinforcement learning directly on the xbox, including hardware requirements, can be seen on my Robotron ML Repo.
