Introduction to Deep Learning with AWS DeepRacer

IROS 2020 Tutorial - Las Vegas, Nevada - October 25, 2020

Abstract:

This tutorial features an introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning with AWS DeepRacer. Dr. Sahika Genc, Principal Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services (AWS), will present the AWS DeepRacer platform with a review of important machine learning concepts relevant to Reinforcement Learning and a hands-on introduction to training and racing with machine learning through a cloud based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning

"AWS DeepRacer gives you an interesting and fun way to get started with reinforcement learning (RL). RL is an advanced machine learning (ML) technique that takes a very different approach to training models than other machine learning methods. Its super power is that it learns very complex behaviors without requiring any labeled training data, and can make short term decisions while optimizing for a longer term goal...

Developers of all skill levels can get hands on with machine learning through a cloud based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning, and global racing league."
