Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has achieved significant success in robotics and autonomous systems, yet remains vulnerable to adversarial perturbations that can severely degrade performance. Research in adversarial reinforcement learning is often limited by fragmented implementations, inconsistent evaluation protocols, and poor reproducibility. To address these challenges, we present \textbf{RoAd-RL}, an open-source benchmarking framework that provides unified abstractions for policies, attacks, defenses, and robustness metrics, together with reproducible evaluation pipelines and seamless integration with Stable-Baselines3 and Gymnasium. We evaluate DQN, PPO, and SAC agents in LunarLander and Highway-v0 under 192 attack-defense configurations. Results reveal substantial variations in robustness across environments and show that some commonly used defenses can be more detrimental than the attacks they aim to mitigate, while temporal smoothing consistently achieves strong performance. RoAd-RL establishes a standardized benchmark for adversarial reinforcement learning research and is publicly available at https://pypi.org/project/road-rl.
Offline Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents are trained on fixed behavioral trajectories, which makes trajectory-level deletion important when selected data must be removed after training. Evaluating such deletion is difficult because a lower membership score can reflect trajector…
Micro-ultrasound ($μ$US) is a new, emerging, and promising imaging modality for prostate cancer (PCa) detection, but accurate identification of suspicious tissue remains highly dependent on clinical experience, leading to substantial inter-observer variability. Machine-learning a…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved strong results in control, yet learned policies remain brittle to changes in dynamics, action spaces, observation spaces, or goals, a critical limitation for real-world deployment. Existing benchmarks offer limited diversity and complexity…
Online reinforcement learning is widely used to align large language models (LLMs) with reward signals, yet training can be unstable under noisy or misspecified rewards. We identify a failure mode we call directional inconsistency: within a batch, a small set of high-reward rollo…
Reliable reinforcement learning (RL) agents must maintain operational integrity amidst sensor malfunctions, dynamic disturbances, and slow environmental shifts. The detection of out-of-distribution conditions is pivotal to determining when an agent's observations, transitions, or…
Many visual reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms learn representations by matching latent distances to a behavioral distance induced by reward and transition similarity. In practice, the choice of the latent distance can strongly affect performance: using a fixed, pre-specified…
