Paper Abstract:
|
The proliferation of machine learning approaches has brought a body of interesting research topics such as deep learning and reinforcement learning. While enhancing the level of machine intelligence is the main focus in this area, another interest lies in how to easily speed up the learning process itself. However, for some domains such as drone autonomous flight, it is difficult to enable fast and efficient learning in real world since flying drones is unsafe, expensive and time-consuming. To cope with these limitations, some recent simulation-based approaches provide physically and especially visually realistic virtual environments and thus enable to collect a large amount of training data fast in various conditions. However, they do not scale well due to their centralized architecture working in stand-alone mode. Thus, various important scenarios where multiple drones coexist (e.g., formation flight) in a space cannot be simulated. In this paper, we introduce our architecture enabling scalable multi-drone simulations. Our architecture, which is based on a distributed client-server model is scalable and aims to make many drones flight and interact with others in the same space simultaneously. |
