I started to work on this, because this is something I hoped existed. If there is enough interest, I am open to commercializing it. Its super easy to setup, especially given all my code is already open source :)
Yes. That is correct. Just wanted to see if the idea in my head actually worked. I was surprised by how decent it turned out especially given that I did not do anything “clever”.
This is a quick proof of concept of an idea. This won't work for every use-case but it worked surprisingly well for a use-case I had in mind. Happy to answer any questions.
The rules of the race are that you can't cut corners from inside the track. Going out of the track is a natural penalty, so it's allowed. The car actually slows down a bit.
The ML algorithm being used is called behavioral cloning (and it's cloning me). It's just that I am a pretty rusty RC car driver :)
The first time I was building Donkey for an entirely new (and previously unsupported) SBC - the Asus Tinkerboard S. I was also unfamiliar with how everything was put together.
The second time was a breeze. Jetson Nano runs Ubuntu so getting everything to work was relatively easy.

There is a pattern here.
