Multi-fidelity Modeling and Reinforcement Learning for Energy Optimal Planning
Modeling the energy consumption of a quadrotor involves complex electrical and physical dynamics, making it difficult to optimize over. We present a sequence-to-sequence multi-fidelity Gaussian process (MFGP) to learn a data-driven model to predict the energy required to fly a given vehicle …
