AI for Sustainable Agriculture: Greenhouse Control Optimization

Welcome to this repository, which is dedicated to exploring the application of various Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms for optimizing environmental conditions in greenhouses. The project implements Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C), and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithms in custom-designed simulation environments.

Overview

The primary objective of this project is to understand the behavior and performance of different RL algorithms in the complex and dynamic environment of a greenhouse. We've implemented both discrete and continuous action spaces and have rigorously compared these algorithms in various conditions like water level control, heat regulation, and nutrient assimilation.

Key Features

• Custom Environments: The repository includes code for custom environments that simulate different aspects of greenhouse control, such as water levels and temperature.

• Multiple Algorithms: The project investigates PPO, A2C, and SAC, adapting them to both discrete and continuous action spaces.

• Comprehensive Analysis: Alongside code, the repository contains a thorough report detailing the methodologies, results, and implications of the experiments.
