It has to be a pretty clearly defined task.
And you might think, well,
How fast did you finish the race?
Well, sometimes that's a little too broad.
You have to give it something more specific.
So what they gave it as a reward was time between gate 1 and gate 2, time between gate 3 and gate 4, basically trying to make sure you get to the next gate as fast as possible.
And when you get there, you're looking at the next gate.
That's the way that they told it.
That's the reward.
And they ran this thing, and I always ask people when they do deep reinforcement learning, how long does it take to run on the computer?
It turns out less than an hour.
Less than an hour they got this thing to actually learn a policy.
Now, there were some tricky parts we can get to in a minute.
Maybe it's a little discussion about this, because the simulations aren't perfect, and that can lead to real problems.
When they put this all together, the headline was they had a race in time trials against champion drone racers, three world champion level drone racers.
One was the Swiss champion, one was the world champion.
I don't know how they take the rankings of this all.
I'm not going to get involved in that world.
And the autonomous Swiss system got the fastest overall time and was the most consistent of them.
And when they broke down the actual performance of the drone, the thing that they found was that it was most consistent getting from gate to gate and made tighter turns.
