Machine Learning for Intelligent Control: Application of Reinforcement Learning Techniques to the Development of Flight Control Systems for Miniature UAV Rotorcraft

This thesis investigates the possibility of using reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to create a flight controller for a quadrotor Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). A capable flight control system is a core requirement of any unmanned aerial vehicle. The challenging and diverse applications in which...
