A workflow for game developers to create and deploy hierarchical AI agents that can navigate complex game environments with learned high-level behaviors.

Workflow Steps

1

ML-Agents Toolkit

Train hierarchical navigation model

Set up Unity ML-Agents environment with hierarchical reinforcement learning configuration. Train agent on basic navigation tasks (walking, crawling, jumping) using curriculum learning across multiple difficulty levels.

2

Unity 3D

Test agent in game environments

Import trained model into Unity game scenes. Create test scenarios with obstacles, multi-level terrain, and time-sensitive navigation challenges to validate learned behaviors.

3

TensorBoard

Analyze performance metrics

Monitor agent performance across different navigation scenarios. Track success rates, completion times, and behavior emergence patterns to optimize model parameters.

4

Unity Cloud Build

Deploy to production builds

Package optimized AI model into production game builds. Configure runtime inference settings and deploy across target platforms (PC, mobile, console).
