Working together, Volkmar Sterzing (53) (left) and Steffen Udluft (48) of Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich-Perlach developed the world's first method for reinforcement learning. It is a process that uses just a few data to teach machines to regulate complex processes on their own. The first area of application is regulating large Siemens gas turbines in the United States and South Korea. The continuous fine-tuning of the combustion valves has optimized gas turbine operations in terms of emissions and wear by constantly searching for the best solution in real time. For this work, both researchers were named Inventors of the Year 2017 in the Outstanding Invention category. Learn more: http://www.siemens.com/inventors
