Apu-aws Deepracer Competition 2023 Showcases Future Machine Learning

The AWS DeepRacer Competition was held at the Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) on 13 April, attracting 215 teams comprising 535 future data scientists and engineers. The competition was organized by the university’s Centre of Technology and Innovation (CTI) and was part of APU’s ongoing digital transformation strategy. The month-long competition kicked off in March with AWS experts providing APU participants with a console walkthrough and a hands-on machine learning workshop. Contestants had the opportunity to test their skills by experimenting with multiple sensor inputs, the latest reinforcement learning algorithms, neural network configurations, and simulation to real domain transfer methods before testing them in autonomous car racing.
