## Description

DRL-robot-navigation is a deep reinforcement learning platform and robotic simulation framework designed to train autonomous mobile robots for collision-free path planning. It uses neural network policies and physics-engine simulation environments to teach robots how to navigate toward target coordinates while avoiding obstacles. 

The software trains continuous control policies using twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradients over continuous state and action spaces. Training is guided by scalar reward signals derived from target proximity and obstacle avoidance distances. System components communicate via asynchronous publish-subscribe messaging topics to route sensor inputs, motor commands, and learning states.

The platform runs inside isolated headless containers to encapsulate the simulation and machine learning pipeline for consistent multi-platform execution.
