More and more learning standards for computational thinking and computer science have been developed in schools across the world. This growth has resulted in an increase of learning activities for elementary school children. Furthermore, there has also been an explosion of artificial intelligence activities geared towards the same population. To supplement these current trends, in this work, we presented a reinforcement learning activity, a branch of artificial intelligence, designed to be played in the context of a physical education class along with a step-by-step lesson plan for teachers and purpose built assessments for the student participants.
Automotive Radar is essential for several vehicular applications due to its high resolution in range and velocity along with a robustness to difficult weather conditions. In particular, we worked on learning the range and direction of arrival of vehicles through training neural networks on simulated targets and testing them under realistic settings in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and computation. We were able to show that compared to FFT based processing, our solution's deviation from the true position was much lower. In addition, we showed that training on simulated targets sufficed with regards to detecting real targets.
