Intelligent Systems Reinforcement Learning and Dynamic Programming Using Function Approximators Lucian Busoniu, Robert Babuska, Bart De Schutter, and Damien Ernst Series: Automation and Control Engineering
Dynamic programming (DP) has been useful in solving system control problems, but its value has been limited by its requirement of algorithms that lacked practical scale-up capacity. However, recent developments in DP's model-free counterpart, reinforcement learning (RL), are helping to solve that problem.

This book demonstrates how bio-inspiration can lead to fully autonomous flying robots. From sensor suite to control strategies, the literature on flying insects is reviewed from an engineering perspective to extract useful principles that are then applied to the synthesis of artificial indoor flyers. Artificial evolution is also utilized to search for alternative control systems and behaviors that match the constraints of small flying robots. Specifically, the basic sensory modalities of insects, vision, gyroscopes and airflow sense, are applied to develop navigation controllers for indoor flying robots.
