Reinforcement Learning and Learning-based Control

 

This is an advanced course intended for master students in mechanical engineering or computer science who are interested in learning-based control and reinforcement learning.

Course description

The class Reinforcement Learning and Learning-based Control covers state of the art methods for data driven learning of controls. The first part of the course introduces reinforcement learning, starting from basic concepts and building to current state-of-the-art algorithms. The second part of the course gives an overview over methods for learning-based model generation and controller tuning. The class emphasizes both solid theoretical understanding of the different mechanisms, as well as hands-on programming exercises to apply them to problems in the context of engineering.
