RobustRLlib: A Unified Library and Benchmark for Robust Reinforcement Learning Algorithms

It integrates 17 representative robust online, offline, and safe RL algorithms under a unified interface for substantially improved reusability, together with an enhanced evaluation platform spanning diverse real-world shifts and advanced humanoid and vision-language-action tasks. It comes from a paper posted to arXiv on 26 October 2026. Robust reinforcement learning (RL) is critical for reliable real-world deployment, where policies may fail under diverse shifts and disruptions. Existing robust RL algorithms offer a rich set of mechanisms and principles, yet two major barriers limit their broader potential: limited algorithm reusability and an unclear empirical capability boundary. We introduce RobustRLlib, an algorithm-centric library and benchmark that addresses both challenges. Systematic evaluation over 273 perturbation configurations provides an up-to-date capability map of current robust RL algorithms, revealing where they remain effective and where substantial robustness gaps persist. As an open-source, user-friendly platform, RobustRLlib offers a reproducible and extensible codebase for applying existing methods to new problems and developing new robust RL algorithms.
