Learning to play Super Mario Bros
Here is a video of a project from my lecture “Applied Neuroinformatics” which I tought at University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten. It shows how Mario learns to improve its behavior by reinforced sensorimotor interactions. A paper describing our technique is currently under review.
Thanks to the developers of Mario AI for sharing their source code!!!
