This paper describes the use of an artificial neural network in conjunction with reinforcement learning techniques to develop an intelligent scheduling system that is capable of learning from experience. In a simulated environment the model controls a mobile robot that transports material to machines. States of ‘happiness’ are defined for each machine, which are the inputs to the neural network. The output of the neural network is the decision on which machine to service next. After every decision, a critic evaluates the decision and a teacher ‘rewards’ the network to encourage good decisions and discourage bad decisions. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the proposed model is capable of learning from past experience and thereby improving the intelligence of the system.
