Integrating Dobot Magician with Reinforcement Learning for Task Automation


#1

Hello Dobot Community,

I’m exploring the feasibility to train the Dobot Magician arm(preferably E6 model), for tasks such as rearranging cubes on a table through reinforcement learning. I have a few questions:

  1. Is DobotStudio Pro adaptable as a simulator for learning environments [i.e. can run deep learning platform / has access to GPU], or should we look towards custom-developed environments for such tasks?

  2. For direct control and data collection necessary for reinforcement learning, is there comprehensive documentation or an official API available for the TCP mode of the Dobot Magician?

  3. Considering the requirement for mentioned, does the Magician E6 offer significant advantages over the basic model for use in educational or research-focused reinforcement learning projects? If so, what are these advantages? specifically talking about infra / software solutions.

Links to guides, official documentation, or personal experiences with similar projects would be incredibly valuable.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Elen.
