The field of industrial applications is witnessing a significant shift towards the adoption of reinforcement learning and graph neural networks to optimize complex systems and processes. Researchers are leveraging these techniques to develop more efficient and adaptive solutions for real-world problems, such as stream processing, material distribution, and job shop scheduling. A notable trend is the use of graph neural networks to process system metrics and learn patterns from data, enabling more accurate predictions and decisions. Additionally, reinforcement learning is being applied to control robotic disassemblers, optimize resource allocation, and improve the efficiency of storage systems. Some noteworthy papers in this area include: The paper on CIRO7.2, which presents a material network with a circularity of -7.2 and a reinforcement-learning-controlled robotic disassembler, demonstrating the potential for circular intelligence and robotics in mitigating waste management issues. The paper on Topology-Aware and Highly Generalizable Deep Reinforcement Learning, which proposes a novel framework for efficient retrieval in multi-deep storage systems, showcasing the effectiveness of graph neural networks and transformers in capturing system topology and optimizing retrieval operations. The paper on DOVA-PATBM, which introduces a geo-computational framework for optimizing large-scale EV charging infrastructure, highlighting the importance of data-rich and geographically scalable tools in addressing the demands of battery-electric vehicles.
