Talk Abstract
Next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are revolutionising human-machine collaboration. This quantum shift in AI capabilities has opened a portal to a world where super-intelligent machines seamlessly integrate with human expertise in the most complex manufacturing environments. Yet, the journey to true machine intelligence in manufacturing is not a mere extension of the AI revolution led by computer scientists. It demands a nuanced, multidisciplinary approach that harmonises technological innovation with industrial intricacies. This talk will explore the driving forces, enabling technologies, and transformative impact of next-generation machine intelligence in manufacturing. We will dive deep into the pioneering work of the Industrial AI Research Group@UoA, unveiling our latest advancements in knowledge understanding, open-source dataset development, machine intelligence algorithm design, and real-world applications.
