Researchers have developed a new reinforcement learning framework called FPRO to optimize pipe routing in aeroengines, integrating manufacturing knowledge directly into the design process. This approach represents pipe paths using curvature and torsion profiles, with manufacturing constraints applied to these parameters. The framework uses proximal policy optimization to generate paths that are then translated into fabrication instructions for a six-axis bending machine, demonstrating improved manufacturability and design accuracy compared to existing methods.
