CORAL system advances autonomous driving with curriculum-based reinforcement learning

Researchers have developed CORAL, a novel approach to enhance reinforcement learning for autonomous urban driving. CORAL utilizes a curriculum that progressively increases route length and behavioral constraints, paired with a stage-aware reward system that adapts its weighting based on task difficulty. This method, trained in the CARLA simulator using a compact state representation, significantly outperforms standard Proximal Policy Optimization baselines in goal achievement and route completion, demonstrating robust zero-shot transferability to unseen urban environments.

    CORAL: Curriculum-Optimized Reward Adaptation for LiDAR-Based Goal-Directed Urban Driving

    arXiv:2608.14332v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning is promising for autonomous urban driving, but long-horizon goal-directed navigation asks a policy to acquire several competing behaviors at once--reaching a distant goal, tracking a route, avoiding obstacle…
