Event: Amazon Web Services' (AWS) DeepRacer challenge for NSW Higher Education

Start your engines! Join Amazon Web Services' (AWS) DeepRacer challenge for NSW Higher Education,  an autonomous racing league driven by machine learning (ML). All  students and professionals across universities in NSW are invited to  race for prizes and glory, with a chance to advance to the AWS DeepRacer  Championship.

AWS DeepRacer uses Reinforcement Learning (RL) which is an advanced  ML technique that takes a very different approach to training models.  All builders are welcome, and no prior machine learning or development  experience is required to participate.

Reasons to attend the workshop
AWS will be hosting an AWS DeepRacer Workshop (2 hours) online on 16 May  2023 at 2PM AEST. In this workshop, we will give you the training and  guidance you need to successfully code, train, and deploy your own  machine learning (ML) model for a real world race car that navigates the  race track under time trial conditions.

The session will first go through the basics of ML on AWS and how to  use the AWS Console for AWS DeepRacer projects. This will cover the  basic theory of AWS DeepRacer, how the car works, what data is exposed  for developers to utilise in training their vehicles to self-drive, and  some simple reward function theories that could be used as a base for  your own model development.
