Are there examples of neural networks (used for control) implemented on a FPGA or on a neurochip?
Greetings to all respected colleagues!
I want to consult on the use of FPGAs and neurochips. I plan to use it in my laboratory project for programming control systems on neural networks.
In my work,...

How to deal with approximate states when doing path planning?
If one is interested in implementing a path planning algorithm that is grid-based, one needs to consider the fact that your grid points will never represent the true state of the robot.
How is this ...

Solving the dead time problem for control using reinforcement learning
There are several occasion that reinforcement learning can be used as a control mean.
The action is for example the set target temperature (which in many occasions change with time) and the state is ...

How is the horizon length handled in model predictive control?
There are at least two major control techniques available for steering a car on a line. The first one is a direct policy which is coded in an algorithm. For example, the AI can decide to move to the ...

When should I use Reinforcement Learning vs PID Control?
When designing solutions to problems such as the Lunar Lander on OpenAIGym, Reinforcement Learning is a tempting means of giving the agent adequate action control so as to successfully land.
But ...
