Concept and the implementation of a tool to convert industry 4.0 environments modeled as FSM to an OpenAI Gym wrapper
share
Industry 4.0 systems have a high demand for optimization in their tasks, whether to minimize cost, maximize production, or even synchronize their actuators to finish or speed up the manufacture of a product. Those challenges make industrial environments a suitable scenario to apply all modern reinforcement learning (RL) concepts. The main difficulty, however, is the lack of that industrial environments. In this way, this work presents the concept and the implementation of a tool that allows us to convert any dynamic system modeled as an FSM to the open-source Gym wrapper. After that, it is possible to employ any RL methods to optimize any desired task. In the first tests of the proposed tool, we show traditional Q-learning and Deep Q-learning methods running over two simple environments.
