Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Traffic Smoothing: A 100-AV Highway Deployment
Evolving story · 1 updatesReinforcement Learning for Autonomous Vehicle Traffic SmoothingTimeline →Researchers from UC Berkeley deployed 100 reinforcement learning-controlled autonomous vehicles on a highway to smooth traffic flow, reduce stop-and-go waves, and improve energy efficiency during rush hour.

Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning
We deployed 100 reinforcement learning (RL)-controlled cars into rush-hour highway traffic to smooth congestion and reduce fuel consumption for everyone. Our goal is to tackle "stop-and-go" waves, those frustrating slowdowns and speedups that usually have no clear cause but lead to congestion and significant energy waste. To train efficient flow-smoothing controllers, we built fast, data-driven simulations that RL agents interact with, learning to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining throughput and operating safely aro

CoorDex: Coordinating Body and Hand Priors for Continuous Dexterous Humanoid Loco-Manipulation

My suitcase robot gets high now off a real gas sensor wired straight into the LLM sampler. Smoke raises temperature/top_p/top_k live, so his speech genuinely gets loopier and never repeats.
