Seminar title: 

AIoT and Robotics Driving Paradigm Shift of Intelligent Manufacturing Automation

Abstract: 

As the recent technology evolving, in which Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Robotics, Intelligent Manufacturing and Digital Economy are included. Due to facing aging society, the industry encountered lack of skilled labors and increased /salary wages, the need of AI and IoT (AIoT) enhanced autonomous mobile robot (AMR), autonomous mobile industrial robot (AMIR) and manufacturing automation become obvious. Amazon, Google and Microsoft are investing in AIoT and intelligent robotics technology. Others are likely to follow, further stimulate investment and innovation.

AI0T becomes important core technological soft power which have a wide spectrum of applications including warehousing and logistic systems, robot integrated manufacturing automation, industrial cyber-physical systems (iCPS). etc. The aforementioned issues, challenges and opportunities will be the focus of this presentation including exemplary best practices and research results with video demo at our NTU International Center of Excellence on Intelligent Robotics and Automation Research.
