Hider and Seeker with Reinforcement Learning (Unity ML Agents)

There are two main types of agents the hiders and the seekers. Each has equal rights of movement and to move objects in the environment. The agents are 3D figures taken from Sketchfab after characters from the famous animated science fiction series “Rick and Morty”, Mr. Meeseeks. The development of each agent starts with defining them as game objects,for the initial implementation we use box-like agents with rigid bodies (green for the Seeker and blue for the Hider). The vision abilities of the agents are approximated by implementing raycasting component, which help the agents locate objects within their visual field. For the implementation each object of interest needs to be tagged in order to be returned as an valid response when the raycast hit it.
