AI Powered Multi-Model Knowledge Image Caption for Intelligent Robotics and Resilient Manufacturing Automation

Professor Ren C. Luo

Abstract

　　Artificial Intelligence becomes an important core technology of soft power in terms of global technological development, which has a wide spectrum of applications including intelligent robot integrated manufacturing automation as well as industrial cyber-physical systems (iCPS) under increased efficiency and flexibility at reduced cost. It is high-level of the AI powered multi-model knowledge Image Caption that generates the context scenario descriptions from an image, and can speak out the context description automatically. We need to concern a variety of elements and their spatial information to form semantically and syntactically sentences. The aforementioned issues, challenges and opportunities will be the focus of this presentation including exemplary best practices and research results on Intelligent Robotics and Resilient Manufacturing Automation with video demo from our NTU iCeiRA Lab.
