Champion-level drone racing using deep reinforcement learning - Nature
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06419-4
An autonomous system is described that combines deep reinforcement learning with onboard sensors collecting data from the physical world, enabling it to fly faster than human world champion drone pilots around a race track.
A cool application of RLHF (Reinforcement Learning w/ Human Feedback - the same approach as what OpenAI used to train ChatGPT).
The authors trained an agent to fly FPV drones at a level surpassing world champions.
