This work presents a pipeline for autonomous emergency landing for multicopters, such as rotary wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), using deep Reinforcement Learning (RL). Mechanical malfunctions, strong winds, sudden battery life drops (e.g, due to cold weather), failure in localization or GPS jamming are not uncommon and all constitute emergency situations that require a UAV to abort its missi...
