Home Energy Management System: A Machine Learning Approach

The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems in residential sectors has raised important energy balancing challenges due to the intermittent nature of energy generation. To address these challenges and prioritize cost savings for residential consumers, this research investigates the integration of...

Low level quadcopter control using Reinforcement Learning: Developing a self-learning drone

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a learning paradigm where an agent learns a task by trial and error. The agent needs to explore its environment and by simultaneously receiving rewards it learns what is appropriate behaviour.<br/>Even though it has roots in machine learning, RL is essentially different from other machine learning methods. In...

Optimizing Air-to-Air Missile Guidance using Reinforcement Learning

To increase performance of air-to-air missile guidance, a novel guidance law is developed using reinforcement learning methods. This guidance law is based on behavior obtained from optimal control methods and subsequently aims to approximate its performance. The study compares the developed guidance law to a traditional guidance law and optimal...
