Quadrotor Autonomous Navigation in Semi-Known Environments Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

In the application scenarios of quadrotors, it is expected that only part of the obstacles can be identified and located in advance. In order to make quadrotors fly safely in this situation, we present a deep reinforcement learning-based framework to realize autonomous navigation in semi-known envir...
