A Appendix Radial
Even if we overcome the integration issues, we are still faced with challenges defining the overlap term. Existing evaluation methods in previous works do not directly measure reward. These evaluation methods primarily focus on not changing agent's original actions under adversarial When most actions don't change under attack, the reward is also In addition a full description of A WC is provided in Algorithm 2.Algorithm 2: Absolute Worst-Case RewardS SA-DQN requires this to be 1 - this can cause issues when the natural Q-values differ by less than 1. We tested this new loss on BankHeist and RoadRunner for Atari. Full results are summarized in below Table 4.
RoadRunner - Learning Traversability Estimation for Autonomous Off-road Driving
Frey, Jonas, Khattak, Shehryar, Patel, Manthan, Atha, Deegan, Nubert, Julian, Padgett, Curtis, Hutter, Marco, Spieler, Patrick
Autonomous navigation at high speeds in off-road environments necessitates robots to comprehensively understand their surroundings using onboard sensing only. The extreme conditions posed by the off-road setting can cause degraded camera image quality due to poor lighting and motion blur, as well as limited sparse geometric information available from LiDAR sensing when driving at high speeds. In this work, we present RoadRunner, a novel framework capable of predicting terrain traversability and an elevation map directly from camera and LiDAR sensor inputs. RoadRunner enables reliable autonomous navigation, by fusing sensory information, handling of uncertainty, and generation of contextually informed predictions about the geometry and traversability of the terrain while operating at low latency. In contrast to existing methods relying on classifying handcrafted semantic classes and using heuristics to predict traversability costs, our method is trained end-to-end in a self-supervised fashion. The RoadRunner network architecture builds upon popular sensor fusion network architectures from the autonomous driving domain, which embed LiDAR and camera information into a common Bird's Eye View perspective. Training is enabled by utilizing an existing traversability estimation stack to generate training data in hindsight in a scalable manner from real-world off-road driving datasets. Furthermore, RoadRunner improves the system latency by a factor of roughly 4, from 500 ms to 140 ms, while improving the accuracy for traversability costs and elevation map predictions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of RoadRunner in enabling safe and reliable off-road navigation at high speeds in multiple real-world driving scenarios through unstructured desert environments.

Anduril's New Drone Killer Is Locked on to AI-Powered Warfare
After Palmer Luckey founded Anduril in 2017, he promised it would be a new kind of defense contractor, inspired by hacker ingenuity and Silicon Valley speed. The company's latest product, a jet-powered, AI-controlled combat drone called Roadrunner, is inspired by the grim reality of modern conflict, especially in Ukraine, where large numbers of cheap, agile suicide drones have proven highly deadly over the past year. "The problem we saw emerging was this very low-cost, very high-quantity, increasingly sophisticated and advanced aerial threat," says Christian Brose, chief strategy officer at Anduril. This kind of aerial threat has come to define the conflict in Ukraine, where Ukrainian and Russian forces are locked in an arms race involving large numbers of cheap drones capable of loitering autonomously before attacking a target by delivering an explosive payload. These systems, which include US-made Switchblades on the Ukrainian side, can evade jamming and ground defenses and may need to be shot down by either a fighter jet or a missile that costs many times more to use.

Roadrunner Announces Its Biggest Ever Transit Improvements
Roadrunner, transportation's greatest comeback story, implemented its updated proprietary Load Plan 2.0, further speeding up its network across 130 major lanes, representing its fourth round of transit time improvements over the past 18 months. Leveraging the industry's most advanced Machine-Learning ('ML') algorithm to optimize its less-than-truckload (LTL) network operations, Roadrunner now offers more direct long-haul metro-to-metro shipping than any other LTL carrier. This major network enhancement is enabled by Roadrunner's proprietary ML algorithm and the new Load Plan 2.0 that leverage Driver Partner Teams, multiple daily departures, and customized dock automation and reflects Roadrunner's Smart Technology focus on becoming the best LTL carrier in the industry. Recognized by Newsweek as one of America's most trustworthy companies and awarded Most Improved LTL Carrier by Mastio, Roadrunner continues to win service quality awards from multiple shippers. "Roadrunner's Weekend Plus advantage gives shippers access to its network on weekends. Our Chicago-to-SoCal and SoCal-to-Chicago lanes represent the fastest transit times in the industry, offering expedited service at LTL rates," said Phillip Thalheim, Director of Network Analytics for Roadrunner.
Effects of Sim2Real Image Translation on Lane Keeping Assist System in CARLA Simulator
Pahk, Jinu, Shim, Jungseok, Baek, MinHyeok, Lim, Yongseob, Choi, Gyeungho
Autonomous vehicle simulation has the advantage of testing algorithms in various environment variables and scenarios without wasting time and resources, however, there is a visual gap with the real-world. In this paper, we trained DCLGAN to realistically convert the image of the CARLA simulator and evaluated the effect of the Sim2Real conversion focusing on the LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) algorithm. In order to avoid the case where the lane is translated distortedly by DCLGAN, we found the optimal training hyperparameter using FSIM (feature-similarity). After training, we built a system that connected the DCLGAN model with CARLA and AV in real-time. Then, we collected data (e.g. images, GPS) and analyzed them using the following four methods. First, image reality was measured with FID, which we verified quantitatively reflects the lane characteristics. CARLA images that passed through DCLGAN had smaller FID values than the original images. Second, lane segmentation accuracy through ENet-SAD was improved by DCLGAN. Third, in the curved route, the case of using DCLGAN drove closer to the center of the lane and had a high success rate. Lastly, in the straight route, DCLGAN improved lane restoring ability after deviating from the center of the lane as much as in reality.

Why The Andy Warhol Diaries Recreated the Artist's Voice With AI
Back in 1982, Andy Warhol was, somewhat infamously, turned into a robot. The machine was made by a Disney Imagineering veteran for a project that never really took off, but Warhol liked his animatronic self. "Machines have less problems," he once said. "I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?" The artist, who died in 1987, was a master of his own cult of personality, and the robot was practically a manifestation of how the world perceived him: meticulously crafted, if a bit rigid and monotone in his conversational style.

The business value of synthetic media tools
A new GamesBeat event is around the corner! Learn more about what comes next. Roadrunner, the documentary film about Anthony Bourdain, contains a scene in which the epicure utters words from letters he wrote to the artist David Choe. This wouldn't be unusual in and of itself -- if it weren't for the fact that Bourdain never read the letters. Rather, the clips were generated by a company that director Morgan Neville hired to model Bourdain's voice.

Are These the Hidden Deepfakes in the Anthony Bourdain Movie?
When Roadrunner, a documentary about late TV chef and traveler Anthony Bourdain, opened in theaters last month, its director, Morgan Neville, spiced up promotional interviews with an unconventional disclosure for a documentarian. Some words viewers hear Bourdain speak in the film were faked by artificial intelligence software used to mimic the star's voice. Accusations from Bourdain fans that Neville had acted unethically quickly came to dominate coverage of the film. Despite that attention, how much of the fake Bourdain's voice is in the two-hour movie, and what it said, has been unclear--until now. In an interview that made his film infamous, Neville told The New Yorker that he had generated three fake Bourdain clips with the permission of his estate, all from words the chef had written or said but that were not available as audio.

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain -- When Celeb Chef Meats AI
In life, Anthony Bourdain could cook up a right storm in the kitchen. In death, the celebrity chef has cooked up a storm of a whole different flavour. Only it wasn't really him who cooked up that storm. In his new documentary, film-maker Morgan Neville drops a pinch of artificial intelligence into his recipe, using the technology to construct a few lines of voiceover by Bourdain. A lot of critics -- including Bourdain's ex-wife Ottavia -- find Neville's creative choice completely unpalatable, suggesting the end result amounts to little more than a deepfake.
