The main objective of the PPAI semianr is to build capacity of young professionals to investigate, identify, demonstrate and promote Artificial Intelligence (Al) techniques for industrial applications. The seminar offers an extensive in-depth vision of actual Industrial Applications in the Spain and worldwide. Applications of Al in industry can dramatically increase agility, speed and quality of the design, implementation and the control in industrial processes. However, currently there is no systematic research and training approach towards implementation of Al techniques in European industry.
The objective is to promote cross-fertilising Al techniques with other scientific fields applied today in industry.

The seminar programme will include invited seminars and conferences, writing papers workshops, complementary training, visits.

Contenidos

  1. Industrial Applications of Artificial Intelligence
    This part of seminar is a compendium of Artificial Intelligence applications naturally taking full advantage of the research potential of professors at Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Politÿcnica de Catalunya and Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the experience of their members in numerous R&D projects undertaken in recent years.
  2. Face to face with the Artificial Intelligence Industrial Applications
    Al is being used extensively in the business world. Its applications cross a wide spectrum. For example, Al is being applied in management and administration, science, engineering, manufacturing, financial and legal areas, military and space endeavors, medicine, and diagnostics.
    Senior managers in many companies use Al-based strategic planning systems to assist in functions like competitive analysis, technology deployment, and resource allocation. They also use programs to assist in equipment configuration design, product distribution, regulatory-compliance advisement, and personnel assessment. Al is contributing heavily to management's organization, planning, and controlling operations, and will continue to do so with more frequency as programs are refined. AI is also influential in science and engineering.

    In this part of the seminar students will be face to face with successful industrials that have been using AI techniques in their businesses
  3. Introduction
    Methodological issues and discussion about the general calendar.

Actividades

Conferences with CEO's from AI industries

A cycle of conferences with CEOs will be organized so students get to know successful industrial histories that used Artificial Intelligence as their basis for success.

Examples of Industrial Applications of Artificial Intelligence from R&D

The Artificial Intelligence applications developed for science and engineering are used to organize and manipulate the ever-increasing amounts of information available to scientists and engineers. The Artificial Intelligence is used in complex processes and it is the increased use of robotics in business. In this part of the seminar we will study edge applications of Artificial Intelligence born as R&D results. Most of the examples will come from European Union funded research.

Metodología docente

There it will be invited speakers from the industry --at least 4-- and up to 7 case studies of Artificial Intelligence Industrial applications.
The format will be a seminar with direct participation and reporting tasks.

Método de evaluación

We will be asking all participants - through an evaluation questionnaire - how far they believed the seminar met the objectives.

Participants will be asked to provide papers evaluation each of the 7 seven relevant applications. There it will be a single note for 6 of the papers and another one for a paper selected by the student
