Reinforcement learning meets bioprocess control through behaviour cloning: Real-world deployment in an industrial photobioreactor

arXiv:2509.06853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inherent complexity of living cells as production units creates major challenges for maintaining stable and optimal bioprocess conditions, especially in open Photobioreactors (PBRs) exposed to fluctuating environments. To address this, we propose a Reinforcement Learning (RL) control approach, combined with Behavior Cloning (BC), for pH regulation in open PBR systems. This represents, to the …
