We found that training (multi-agent) policies to win a race with sparse competitive rewards leads to agile policies with strategic behaviors. These policies outperform the ones trained with behavioral-prescribing dense rewards and transfer better to the real world.

It is really impressive what this model can do (in real time!). Maye the time has arrived for a solid real-time MPC with a video model?

Last day of class of my brand-new course Physical Intelligence (lnkd.in/d9BMFG5d) at #UPenn. We concluded with a drone racing competition in the real world! I am really proud of all the students; I have no doubt that they will do great in the future!
