Team:
Siemens (Principal Investigator), University of Southern California
Topic Areas Addressed:
Discovery Workshops and Market Studies
Description:
This project will build Market Studies and complete Discovery Workshops to assess the state of the art and propose technology roadmaps for the following topics:
- Multi-Modal Inputs for AI: Recent advancements of foundation model developed at a surprisingly rapid pace (e.g. ChatGPT). These models are designed for multi-modal inputs and will dominate the AI landscape over the next years. This report will analyze their potential in manufacturing.
- Rapid Re-tasking & Robot Agility: The need for lot-size-one production and flexible manufacturing requires rethinking the current deployment approach to robotics, where robots are often deployed for one specific purpose.
