These factors make truss design a highly constrained problem, where traditional optimization methods often struggle due to high computational demands and slow convergence. This paper introduces an innovative approach that frames truss design as a sequential decision-making problem, addressed through reinforcement learning combined with generative grammar rules. By emulating a continuous human-computer interaction and effectively balancing the exploration and exploitation of design alternatives, this method outperforms traditional techniques in computational efficiency for structural design tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-1024x566.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-1024x566.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-1536x849.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.erc-immense.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCTS-2048x1132.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rb.gy\/63tq0c\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/rb.gy\/63tq0c\">Read the article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active digital twins via active inferenceM Torzoni, D Maisto, A Manzoni, F Donnarumma, G Pezzulo, and A Corigliano This research introduces \u201cactive digital twins\u201d,\u00a0 built upon the neuroscience-inspired active inference paradigm.
