Reinforcement Learning for Flight Control of the Flying V

Recent research on the Flying V - a flying-wing long-range passenger aircraft - shows that its airframe design is 25% more aerodynamically efficient than a conventional tube-and-wing airframe. The Flying V is therefore a promising contribution towards reduction in climate impact of long-haul flights. However, some design aspects of the Flying V...

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...
