====== Control Assignment 1 ======

**Percentage Points** (of final grade): 7. 

**Individual work:** You should do this assignment alone. 


====DESCRIPTION====

Referring to [[public:t-720-atai:atai-19:control_assignment_1|Control Assignment 1]], implement a reinforcement learner that can do what you learned in PART-1 of that assignment (piloting the alien space ship off the planet), i.e. learn to keep the thrust in a 1000-point range for 5 seconds. This will be done in two parts:

==Part 1==
First, write a detailed specification/report (max 4 pages) detailing everything about how you would go about implementing such a reinforcement learner for that task. The description must be detailed enough that it could be given to your fellow student to implement, and they would not have to second-guess any key detail of the design. //Make sure to note any challenges or limitations that, compared with human performance on the task, are implied by or inherent in your design.// You may use any reinforcement learning mechanism of your choice (Q-learning, SARSA, etc.). 

==Part 2==
Using the Matlab/Simulink implementation of the Alien Spaceship task, implement the reinforcement learner described in your specification from Part 1.
