Major Technology 10: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Virtual Product Creation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Virtual Product Creation in Industry

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a new concept or technology. It first appeared in the 1950s, when several scientists came together with the dream to build machines as intelligent as humans. AI, however, has gained serious attention during the last twenty years, with respect to support engineering reasoning and data driven intelligence support in industry. Hence, it meanwhile need to be treated as a major technology for Virtual Product Creation. Firstly, this chapter introduces and explains Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its different categories. Then it introduces knowledge based systems and their integration into industry. The main focus, however, of this book chapters lies on the AI discipline Machine Learning, which has gained serious traction meanwhile in the applications of Virtual Product Creation analysis and design guidance solutions. The four types of Machine Learning (Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Semi-Supervised Learning and Reinforcement Learning) are explained. In addition, the importance and appraoch of process and data intelligence are described in order to achieve robust and meaningful application results in industry. Industrial examples are described to understand the power of AI in Virtual Product Creation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    LISP: short for List Processing, a favored programming language for artificial intelligence, which is based on lambda calculus. Works good for computation associated problems.

  2. 2.

    Prolog: a logic programming language, which is widely used in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. It works well for rule-based logical queries.

  3. 3.

    The algorithm Random Forest is based on a combination of decision trees. To classify a data sample, each decision tree provides a classification result for the input data. Random Forest then collects the results from each decision tree and choose the most voted one as the prediction result [18].

  4. 4.

    Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is the simplest neural network, sometimes also referred to a feedforward Artificial Neural Network.

  5. 5.

    NeuroCAD is a separate program which runs in parallel with Siemens NX. The performance will not be influenced mutually.

  6. 6.

    It is assessed based on the correctness of the top 3 recommendations from feature assistant.
