Is it possible to run several simulations in parallel?

[DeeDive]

Dear authors!

Thanks for the great interface. I am wondering that is it possible to run several simulations in parallel? Or maybe this is more of a question related to webots. By doing that we can speed up the evaluations significantly.

Millions of thanks in advance!

Hey @DeeDive! Thank you for your interest in deepbots. Unfortunately, no, deepbots doesn't support parallel simulations by default.

You could use deepbots to build something though, e.g. using the emitter-receiver scheme and add multiple robots to a world and gather experience from all of them simultaneously, speeding up the training. This would require creating a communication scheme between the robots and the supervisor.

You can take a look at the work done on this PR.
