Learning Outcomes

This course expresses the planning problem as discrete-time dynamic programming with both action and information channel degrees of freedom. Problems studied include both discrete state and continuous state systems. Is capable (grade 3/5) 1. To formulate the control of the system and the selection of the information channels as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) problem. 2. To produce approximate solutions to POMDP problems and to assess their suboptimality. 3. To explain the opportunities of approximate dynamic programming with POMDPs when system models are uncertain.
