New RL framework trains autonomous superbikes with self-paced learning

Researchers have developed a new framework for training autonomous agents to race superbikes in a simulated environment. This approach combines Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) with Self-Paced curriculum Deep Reinforcement Learning (SPDL), which automatically creates increasingly difficult training tasks. The system aims to address the unique challenges of motorbike control, such as balance and lean angle management, which are more complex than those in four-wheeled vehicles. Initial results indicate that SPDL is more efficient and leads to better performance in terms of lap times and stability compared to standard SAC. AI
