CrowdPlay is a platform for crowdsourcing human demonstration trajectories at scale in RL environments. It interfaces with standard RL simulators that implement an OpenAI Gym-style API consisting of a reset and a step function. CrowdPlay can be used to generate large-scale datasets of human demonstrations with minimal effort, as detailed in our publication CrowdPlay: Crowdsourcing Human Demonstrations for Offline Learning Matthias Gerstgrasser, Rakshit Trivedi, David C. Parkes
