MILER is an end‑to‑end reinforcement learning framework that achieves zero‑shot sim‑to‑real transfer for autonomous driving in unstructured environments. It uses a custom semantic mid‑level representation (MLR) simulator for offline training, and during deployment it processes real camera and LiDAR data with BEVFusion to produce a compatible bird’s‑eye‑view representation. The policy’s actions are applied via a trajectory‑alignment strategy, allowing the system to drive 17.3 km on a 3.0 km test track without human intervention, all running on a Jetson AGX Orin.

arXiv:2604. 03497v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-model (VLM)-guided reinforcement learning (RL) has recently attracted significant attention for it, replacing brittle hand-crafted rewards with semantically grounded signals; however, deploying such simulation-trained policies on real vehicles remains a fundamental challenge, because they rely on simulator-native observations and simulator-coupled action semantics with no counterpart on physical hardware.

Dual-source trolleybuses alternate between overhead catenary supply and on-board battery operation, creating energy-use patterns driven by route attributes, high-frequency trajectories, and hourly weather. Existing models struggle to represent these heterogeneous inputs and rarely explain the causal drivers of consumption.
