objectives. It combines function approximation and goal optimization to map states and actions to the
rewards they result in. The combination of NN with RL algorithms led to the creation of astounding
breakthroughs like Deepmind’s AlphaGo, an algorithm that beat the world champions of the Go board
game .

As mentioned earlier, RL is a powerful technique for achieving optimal control in robotic systems.
Traditional optimal control has the drawback of requiring complete understanding of the system’s
dynamics. Furthermore, because the design is often done offline, it is unable to deal with the changing
dynamics of a system during operation, such as service robots that must execute a variety of duties in an
unstructured and dynamic environment. The first chapter of this paper has shown that adaptive control, on
