Rolling Steel by Reinforcement
REINFORCEMENT LEARNING · PROCESS CONTROL
2020 · RWTH Cybernetics Lab IMA & IfU
Hot rolling is a control problem with real thermodynamics. I applied state-of-the-art reinforcement learning to optimize the process on simulations compatible with Gym.
I also built the plumbing: a RESTful FastAPI server logging every simulation into an ArangoDB graph database, as submitted by the client API.
Half research, half engineering — the half-and-half I keep returning to.
