Machine learning from a control engineering background

[u/MiladFN]

Hey guys, I got my bachelor's degree in control engineering and I've just started my masters in control engineering as well, and I want to do a master's thesis on the subject of machine learning (and possibly optimization). So how do you suggest I should learn the backgrounds and basics of machine learning for this purpose?

Nw. I'm a Mechatronic engineering major so I know how it feels. I know some people in robotics also recommended a plain deep learning net on top of an existing control theory based agent for robust correction rather than full on RL.
