Principal Contribution

Trained autonomous agents combining quantile regression soft actor-critic with mixed scenario training, defeating the best human esports drivers in Gran Turismo Sport.

Operational Relevance

Serves as qualified theoretical and systems foundation for task-game-playing, task-continuous-control.

Assumptions

  • Markovian state dynamics and stationary reward functions hold in target evaluation environments

Limitations

  • Sample efficiency, exploration stability, and real-world sim-to-real transfer gaps require specialized tuning
