Reinforcement Learning–Based Temperature Control for Automated Tape Laying of Thermoplastic Prepregs

Author: [Bruce Zhou]Affiliation: [Jota Machinery Composites Material Prepreg Solution]Corresponding Author: [jotamachinery@gmail.com]Published : November 28 , 2025 Abstract Automated tape laying (ATL) of thermoplastic unidirectional (UD) tapes is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations at the nip point, where tape, substrate and consolidation roller meet. Classical open-loop heater settings and model-based controllers often struggle to compensate for
