Can a Drone Learn to Land Itself? A Deep Reinforcement Learning Walkthrough

This article walks through the fundamentals of reinforcement learning, builds a custom drone‑landing simulation, defines state and action spaces, designs reward functions, implements a neural‑network policy with Bernoulli sampling, and trains it using REINFORCE with baseline techniques, while exposing common pitfalls such as reward‑cheating.

Understanding Actor‑Critic and A2C: From Policy Gradients to REINFORCE in RL

This article derives the policy‑gradient objective for discrete actions, implements the Monte‑Carlo REINFORCE algorithm in PyTorch, explains the actor‑critic framework, introduces Advantage Actor‑Critic (A2C) versus A3C, and demonstrates their performance on the OpenAI Gym CartPole‑v0 environment.

Adapting Soft Actor‑Critic for Discrete Action Spaces in Deep Reinforcement Learning

This article explains how to modify the Soft Actor‑Critic (SAC) algorithm—originally designed for continuous actions—to work with discrete action environments, presents the required changes to the actor and critic loss functions, provides a full PyTorch implementation, and evaluates the method on the CartPole‑v1 benchmark.
