Manipulation task planning for heterogeneous object stacking based on reinforcement learning

The paper propose a new way of solving the Pallet Packing Problem by modelling it as a Markov decision process. This allows the program to make decisions step-by-step based only on the current state and adapt to any error in execution. By applying reinforcement learning techniques, an agent can be t...
