Hands-On ROS for Robotics Programming

Preparing the environment with TensorFlow, Keras, and Anaconda

Together with Anaconda, which you were instructed to install in the previous chapter, you will now install the machine learning tools TensorFlow and Keras. You will need them to make the neural networks that are required to solve the reinforcement learning tasks:

• TensorFlow is the low-level layer of your machine learning environment. It deals with the mathematical operations involved in the creation of neural networks. Since they are mathematically resolved as matrix operations, you need a framework that is effective at solving this algebra, and TensorFlow is one of the most efficient frameworks for that. The name of the library comes from the mathematical concept of a tensor ...
