About this book
This book investigates the rapid developments of Artificial intelligence (AI) as well as their capability to address efficiently and in a cost-effective manner issues of the manufacturing field. A number of manufacturing applications of AI related to manufacturing processes, robots, automation and manufacturing systems design and control, are presented and discussed. The book includes an outlook on a way forward to intelligent manufacturing, through AI. The real benefit from AI in manufacturing will not only derive through the automation of tasks but also through the provision of new levels of autonomy that will make entirely new applications possible and introduce new business processes in manufacturing.
