Benefits

DeepRacer on AWS transforms complex reinforcement learning concepts into an approachable, practical experience through its interactive, user-friendly platform. Users learn the fundamentals of reinforcement learning in a gamified setting without traditional barriers to entry. The platform provides immediate feedback through virtual or physical racing, creating an engaging learning loop that serves both beginners and advanced users.

Test model training fundamentals using the DeepRacer on AWS 3D racing simulator. Experiment with multiple sensor inputs, the latest reinforcement learning algorithms, neural network configurations and simulation to-real domain transfer methods.

Once you have built your model, it’s time to race! Compete against colleagues, host community races or create your own league to put your machine learning skills to the test.
