## Abstract
Robotic devices can be controlled using Machine Learning, and more specifically Reinforcement Learning (RL). This method is very effective for solving complex positionning problems but it requires a lot of time to compute. PiSDF is a model of computation based on Dataflow Graphs allowing more parallelism in applications, it could be used to schedule optimally computations in order to reduce this time. During my internship, I implemented RL on a robot arm with and without Dataflow Graphs and analysed the gain in learning time.
