RL is a type of machine learning where agents learn by interacting with an
environment.‌
Key components:‌
Age‌
nt: ‌
The robot or system learning to perform a task‌
Environment: ‌
The world or simulation the robot interacts with‌
Reward: ‌
Feedback signal guiding learning‌
Goal: ‌
Maximize cumulative rewards over time‌
Introduction to Reinforcement Learning (RL)
iabac.org‌
Enables robots to learn complex behaviors without explicit
programming‌
Adap‌
ts to dynamic and uncertain environments‌
Reduces human intervention in repetitive or dangerous tasks‌
Examples: ‌
robotic arms, autonomous vehicles, drones‌
Why RL is Important in Robotics
iabac.org‌
Robotic Manipulation: ‌
Learning to grasp and move objects‌
Navigation & Path Planning: ‌
Au‌
tonomous movement in‌
‌
unknown terrains‌
Human-Robot Interaction:‌Adapting actions based on human‌
‌
behavior‌
Industrial Automation: ‌
Optimizing assembly line tasks‌
Applications in Robotics

Challenges‌
Challenges & Future Outlook
High computational cost‌
Sample inefficiency (needs many trials)‌
Safety concerns in real-world training‌
Future Outlook
Improved simulation-to-real-world transfer‌
Integration with other AI techniques (e.g., computer vision)‌
Wider adoption in healthcare, manufacturing, and service
robotics‌
