Exercises

  1. Calculate -step transition probabilities for the robot using the Markov chain model we introduced with the state initialized at . You will notice that it will take a bit more time for the system to reach the steady state.
  2. Modify the Markov chain to include the absorbing state for the robot crashing into the wall. What does your look like for a large ?
  3. Using the state values in Figure 4.7, calculate the value of a corner state using the estimates for the neighboring state values.
  4. Iteratively estimate the state values in the grid world MRP using matrix forms and operations instead of using a for loop.
  5. Calculate the action value where the policy π corresponds to taking no actions in any state using the values in Figure 4.7. Based on how compares to , would you consider changing your policy to take the action 'up' instead of no actions in state ?
