  Abstract

Most of the robots used in smart factory are controlled by users or are commercially available with line-tracer techniques. These robots are used to carry out accessories or repair by moving them to a designated position or to a position where alarms are activated. However, there is a problem with these methods that it is difficult to apply the existing algorithms due to frequently changing process line layout and a position where alarms are activated. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a reinforcement learning model that can be actively and flexibly dealt with the change of situation. The proposed model is a model using Deep Q-Network, one of the enhanced learning algorithms, that receives images of the internal structure and derives the optimal path of movement for the current location of robots. This method allows the establishment of a system that can be proactive and flexible in responding to the changes in circumstances. In addition, the system will greatly contribute to energy savings and productivity gains. The simulation results showed that even in new unlearned environments it was found that the proposed method effectively elicited the optimal path taking into account the structure and conditions inside the plant.
