Syllabus

Unit 1: Intro

In this unit, you will gain an introduction to the core themes and objectives of the Reinforcement Learning for Robotics course through a hands-on demo featuring Cubix, a robot autonomously navigating to a target destination using Reinforcement Learning.

 

 

Unit 2: Fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning

In this unit, you will explore the foundations of the course, introducing the key concepts and principles of Reinforcement Learning (RL).

You’ll learn the following:

  • Introduction to Reinforcement Learning (RL)
  • Core Components of RL
  • Policies
  • Learning Strategies
  • Exploration vs. Exploitation Tradeoff
  • RL Hyperparameters

Unit 3: Q-Learning

In this unit, you’ll dive into Q-Learning, a foundational RL algorithm that offers a straightforward yet effective way to teach agents decision-making through trial and error, without requiring a model of the environment, making it ideal for understanding core RL concepts.

You’ll learn the following:

  • Q-Learning
  • How Q-Learning Works
  • Implementing Q-Learning for Cubix

Unit 4: Deep Q-Learning (DQL)

In this unit, you’ll dive into Deep Q-Learning (DQL), a technique for handling continuous state spaces in reinforcement learning while maintaining discrete actions.

You’ll learn the following:

  • Why Transition to DQL?
  • Core Concepts of DQL
  • Implementing DQL in PyGame
  • Implementing DQL for Cubix

    I am wholeheartedly grateful for this outstanding opportunity. I wouldn’t have found a better ROS beginner-friendly course elsewhere. Thanks, ConstructSim !

    I have tried to start learning ROS before and that was so difficult because I didn’t understand how to start, now with these introductory courses I am very excited because I can finally start to enter this world.
