Integrating Photonics and Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors with Deep Reinforcement Learning for Advanced Robotic Systems

This research introduces the Photonics-Enhanced Embedded Robotic Intelligence Model (PEERIM), an innovative approach that integrates fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors with photonics and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for advanced robotics applications. Addressing the limitations of current AI models in dynamic and complex environments, PEERIM leverages the rapid data transmission capabilities of photonics to process high-frequency sensor data, enabling real-time decision-making and enhanced automation. The methodology encompasses the development and integration of a variant of the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, tailored to manage the continuous data stream and execute precise, adaptive control. The proposed model has been empirically evaluated, demonstrating a significant improvement in handling real-time sensor data with an average reward of 99.02 and a low average loss of 0.099, indicating robust performance and learning stability. These findings suggest that PEERIM provides a substantial advantage over existing AI-driven robotic systems, offering a scalable solution for a variety of challenging applications. The study’s contributions lay the groundwork for future advancements in autonomous systems, promising a new era of precision and reliability in robotics.
