      It really is wild. At times it's like watching actual 5 year olds play, and at other times, it's like watching experienced players but blackout drunk. The aimbot is on point, but the walking/positioning AI is still just trying its best not to tumble into the bushes and often failing at that. I wonder if a bunch more generations of walking AI training would get things to the point where the match would be deadlocked and you'd need training for the AIs to try to take advantage of each other's position - to not just successfully land a shot on the other side of the table, but to try to land a shot out of reach of the opponent... or even fake the opponent out.

    Amazing work!
    The issue with quaternions reminds me of a paper "On the continuity of rotation representations in neural networks" (CVPR 2019) where they show a 6D representation of rotation can lead to better learning.
    Along these lines it has become common in the field of neural character control (e.g. Mode Adaptive Neural Network SIGGRAPH 2018) to instead use the described 6D representation because it interpolates better; it avoids the so-called "double-cover of SO(3)" that quaternions have requiring you to have to pick the correct quaternion version.
    The 6D rep is unique per rotation so doesn't have this issue.
    You might find they learn better when using the 6D representation.
    Or they might not, as things in deep learning very often go :P

      @samuelmilner3144 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, because the trained part of the AI doesn't control the shots. The shots are not controlled by the AI, but the aimbot programmed using a relatively simple equation. The AI moves it' hand to the position the aimbot tells it to. In order to get the AI to figure out where to make the shots on its own would require the AI to have some representation of the balls position added as inputs to the neural network. Simply adding a reward even then, probably wouldn't get it there. Definitely possible but would require a lot more work.

    I think you should also reward it for keeping its eyes on the ball (stops rapid head movements). It might also need feet rather than balls, hard to balance with balls on your feet! Something else that could be a good idea is an energy system, moving so erratically like that would expend energy, allow it to learn to be more efficient as the taser method doesn't appear to do much.
