The mechanical engineering domain is witnessing a massive digital transformation across sectors such as materials, energy, mining, product design, manufacturing, supply chain, automotive and aerospace. All industrial functions are being interconnected in digital frameworks for real time monitoring, control and optimization to maximize productivity, operational efficiency, flexibility to meet dynamic market demands and minimize costs, rework and pollution. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are being applied in almost every sphere of modern industries to analyze, classify, automate, optimize and predict processes in ever more effective and meaningful ways. In fact, ML and AI can now make decisions for maintenance, material requisitions, material flow plans and much more in modern factories and industrial automation systems. This research topic aims to collect relevant articles that address various aspects of ML and AI applications in the domain of industrial automation and robotics.
This Research Topic would welcome article contributions that focus of ML and AI to solve industrial automation and robotics domain problems with regards to (not limited to): product design, analysis, supply chain, manufacturing, control, automation, robotics, automotives, electric vehicles, aerospace, materials, materials processing, maintenance, waste reduction, green / sustainable manufacturing, industry 4.0 and more. The goal of this Research Topic is to provide ML and AI based technological solutions to the problems and challenges being faced by the industry, society and environment in the context of automation and robotics domain. This Research Topic would also foster interdisciplinary research efforts with ML, AI and industrial automation and robotics at its core.
