I came across this a few days ago: For Reinforcement Learning specifically, the standard text is Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction[1]. Dave's UCL Course on RL[2] is great too (playlist of all lectures)[3].

Beyond those, my favorite resources are:

- "An Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning" by Vincent François-Lavet et al (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.12560.pdf)

- "A (Long) Peek into Reinforcement Learning" by Lilian Weng (https://lilianweng.github.io/lil-log/2018/02/19/a-long-peek-...)

- "Deep Reinforcement Learning: Pong from Pixels" from Andrej Karpathy (https://karpathy.github.io/2016/05/31/rl/)

Those are the basics. Some more resources listed on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18219620

Thanks for this list. I’d like to get up to speed on RL and see how we can apply it for path planning and control of our gliding parachute UAVs.
Ooh! I want one of those for high altitude balloon payload recovery. Got any small ones or hobby grade projects doing this that you’re aware of?
No hobby ones I know of, although I haven't looked into the hobby space too much. All I can say about smaller systems is give our BD guys a call... =D
thanks!!
