The Speculum2 is a driving robot for the Torcs (torcs.sourceforge.n et) racing game based on Support Vector Machines (implemented with libsvm). It learns to drive by analyzing a real player driving (supervised learning).
This video shows how Reinforcement Learning can be used for learning the gear shifting policy in TORCS (http://torcs.source forge.net/). The video is related to a research project developed at Politecnico di Milano (http://www.polimi.i t). More details can be found in http://home.dei.poli mi.it/loiacono/paper s/prete07thesis.pdf
