Online Aircraft System Identification Using A Novel Parameter Informed Reinforcement Learning Method, Nathan Schaff
Online Aircraft System Identification Using A Novel Parameter Informed Reinforcement Learning Method, Nathan Schaff
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
This thesis presents the development and analysis of a novel method for training reinforcement learning neural networks for online aircraft system identification of multiple similar linear systems, such as all fixed wing aircraft. This approach, termed Parameter Informed Reinforcement Learning (PIRL), dictates that reinforcement learning neural networks should be trained using input and output trajectory/history data as is convention; however, the PIRL method also includes any known and relevant aircraft parameters, such as airspeed, altitude, center of gravity location and/or others. Through this, the PIRL Agent is better suited to identify novel/test-set aircraft.
First, the PIRL method is applied to …
