Different types of drones are used for a range of environmental monitoring activities. The hardware involved is still quite costly to acquire and deploy, so various ways to make them more cost-effective is an active area of research. One way to increase the usefulness of autonomous robots, is enabling them to perform more complex tasks, or multiple tasks. In this project, you will explore reinforcement learning (RL) with the aim of training a drone to detect and map plumes of gas emission.
