02. Deep RL for Robotics

Deep RL for Robotics

Watch the video below to hear how deep RL is being applied in robotics from Dana Sheahen, the Curriculum Lead for the Robotics Software Engineer Nanodegree Program.

Dana is an electrical engineer with a Masters in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. Her work experience includes software development for embedded systems in the Automotive Group at Motorola, where she was awarded a patent for an onboard operating system.

Deep RL in Robotics

In the next lesson, you'll learn all about Deep Q-Networks.

Then, in the lesson Deep RL for Robotics, you will learn how to use Deep Q-Learning to train a robotic agent to drive in a Gazebo environment.

In **Deep RL in Robotics**, you will learn how to navigate a rover with a Deep Q-Network (DQN)!
