The objective of the group is to investigate the application of Reinforced Deep Learning to autonomously complete damage inspection on buildings after natural disasters. By using Reinforced Deep Learning with Convolutional Neural Networks performing image processing, the drone will be trained to navigate itself towards buildings and perform building inspection without scanning the whole structure. The algorithms for Reinforced Deep Learning can be used to drive drones autonomously and perform inspections currently done by humans. The stability of the structure of buildings are unknown when these inspections are performed. This application would greatly reduce the risk of individuals involved in inspecting the building structures and provide greater insight into the stability of these structures
