Design optimization of obstacle avoidance of intelligent building the steel bar by integrating reinforcement learning and BIM technology by Hong Chai, Junchao Guo

“…In the collision-free path design of the same object, the research on the path design of different types of precast concrete elements takes about 3–4 minutes, which is far less than the time spent by experienced structural engineers on collision-free path modeling. The experimental results indicate that the model constructed by the research institute has good performance and has certain reference significance.…”
