Multi-agent Drone Racing via Self-play and Reinforcement Learning University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Drone racing requires human pilots to not only complete a given race track in minimum-time, but also to compete with other pilots through strategic blocking, or to overtake opponents during extreme maneuvers. Single-player RL allows autonomous agents to achieve near-time-optimal performance in time trial racing. While being highly competitive in this setting, such training strategy can not generalize to the multi-agent scenario. An important step towards artificial general intelligence (AGI) is versatility -- the capability of discovering novel skills via self-play and self-supervised autocurriculum. In this project, we tackle multi-agent drone racing via self-play and reinforcement learning. Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis
