Aerial Robot Reinforcement Learning ML Frameworks

Projects applying reinforcement learning algorithms (DQN, Q-Learning, DDPG, Actor-Critic, TD3, SAC) to train autonomous aerial vehicles (quadcopters, drones, UAVs) for navigation, control, trajectory planning, and delivery tasks. Does NOT include general robotics RL, non-aerial vehicle control, or RL frameworks without an aerial/drone application focus.

There are 112 aerial robot reinforcement learning frameworks tracked. 3 score above 50 (established tier). The highest-rated is LucasAlegre/sumo-rl at 69/100 with 1,002 stars. 1 of the top 10 are actively maintained.
