Abstract
Pipe routing is a important part of the whole design process in the shipbuilding industry. It has a lot of constraints and many tasks that should be considered together. Also, the result of this stage affects follow-up works in a wide scope. Therefore, this part requires skilled designers and a lot of time. This study aims to reduce the workload and time during the design process by automating the pipe route design on initial stage. In this study, the reinforcement learning was used for pipe auto-routing. Reinforcement learning has the advantage of dynamically selecting routes, unlike existing algorithms. Therefore, it is suitable for the pipe routing design in ship design process which is frequently modified. At last, the effectiveness of this study was verified by comparing pipelines which were designed by piping designer and reinforcement learning results.
