Interesting - thanks! OP's drone IS using RL and that's what jumped out at me - it felt a bit overkill for the usecase.

Hey! This is a great question because RL is overkill for my use case, you're right! The reason I'm using RL is because I wanted an RL project on real hardware, so I built this idea of a drone project around that concept, not vice versa. A lot of people on X have brought up alternative solutions -- like MPC -- that might be a better approach to this problem engineering-wise. I just really wanted a real-world RL problem and this was kind of the first cool idea I thought of :D

I'm sorry for the late response, I didn't realize someone had posted my project
