__NOTE__: SOCKS is still under active (alpha) development 🚧👷🚧. Code is provided as-is, and some algorithms may not work as intended before the initial release. Please check back soon for the official release.

SOCKS is a suite of algorithms for stochastic optimal control using kernel
methods.

It runs on top of [OpenAI Gym](https://gym.openai.com), and comes with several classic controls Gym environments. In addition, it can integrate with many pre-existing Gym environments.

## Installation

To install the toolbox, use `pip install gym-socks`.

Alternatively, download the code from the GitHub repo and install using `pip install .` from the code directory.

We support Python versions 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 on Linux and macOS. We do not officially support Windows.

## Examples

SOCKS comes with several examples in the GitHub repo.
In order to run the examples, first install the package and use `python -m <example>` from the code directory.

For example, `python -m examples.benchmark_tracking_problem` will run the optimal control algorithm on the tracking benchmark using nonholonomic vehicle dynamics.
