- [Instructor] Perhaps you've seen the video of the Atlas robot by Boston Dynamics, not as anthropomorphic as this one, but still bipedal, running through a parkour course and doing backflips. It's amazing. It's a moment that is incredible, both for its technical accomplishments, as well as for its ability to make me feel even more discoordinated than usual. But reinforcement learning is the key to a whole realm of extraordinary accomplishments in data science. So for instance, when a computer algorithm is able to play chess and go, games that people thought were way too complicated for computers, and not only do they learn to play it, but they beat the best people in the world; or self-driving cars that can keep themselves between the lanes and get you across the country, or stock market trading, where algorithms are designed to find optimal times to buy and sell certain stocks at certain amounts to maximize the…
