…robots based on operation complexity. Hierarchical Robot Learning Framework Based on Reinforcement Learning for Decision Making and Control Source: General Motors Principal Investigator: General Motors Project Team: GE Research, University of Virginia, and Siemens Corporation Project Description: This project seeks to employ a Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm to allow manufacturing robotic systems to perform new tasks with minimal or no manual intervention. The team will do this by building a hierarchical RL framework in which expert knowledge, historical data, and digital twins are used to effectively learn manipulation policies to perform unstructured tasks. These outputs are expected to reduce the…
