SERL is a ready-to-use software suite for robotic RL, featuring sample efficient off-policy algorithms, various reward specification methods, and advanced controller for popular robots. It includes example tasks such as PCB assembly, cable routing, and reset-freeobject relocation. Remarkably, it trains policies in just 25 to 50 minutes, outperforming previous benchmarks with high success rates and robustness.
