Further information for students

In the reference project, the robot car is trained to drive the track more evenly (small wobble). Reinforcement neural network optimizes car driving according to a reward, agent, policy. The AI ​​is located first on the server and finally on the edge of the network. Investigate whether driving improves as a result of edge calculation
