Recently, research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased significantly. UAVs do not require pilots for operation, and must possess autonomous flight capabilities to ensure that they can be controlled without a human pilot the ground. Previous studies have mainly focused rule-based methods, which specialized personnel create rules. Reinforcement learning been applied UAV flight; howev...

Abstract Forpractical considerations reinforcement learning has proven to be a difficult task outside of simulation when applied physical experiment. Here we derive an optional approach model free learning, achieved entirely online, through careful experimental design and algorithmic decision making. We scheme implement traditionally episodic algorithms for unstable 1-dimensional mechanical env...

The correctness of autonomous driving software is utmost importance, as incorrect behavior may have catastrophic consequences. Formal model-based engineering techniques can help guarantee and thereby allow the safe deployment vehicles. However, challenges exist for widespread industrial adoption formal methods. One these model construction problem. Manual models time-consuming, error-prone, int...

Research on the debatable topic of learning autonomy from perspectives debaters is not quite new, however, further discussion done by seeking educational implications autonomous used. Therefore, this study investigates cases three active under community in students' activity at University. The findings have focused more how they subjectively position themselves during process becoming a good de...

BACKGROUND The hierarchical model of achievement motivation presumes that achievement goals channel the achievement motives of need for achievement and fear of failure towards motivational outcomes. Yet, less is known whether autonomous and controlling reasons underlying the pursuit of achievement goals can serve as additional pathways between achievement motives and outcomes. AIMS We tested ...

Objectives This study applied self-determination theory (SDT) to investigate the relationship between students' autonomous motivation and tutors' autonomy support in medical students' academic achievement. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Out of 204 students in a fundamental medical science course, 199 participated in the study. Data was collected using two questionnaires: the Learni...
