Artificial Intelligence Colloquium: AI-Enabled Design HD

Speaker: Dr. Jan Vandenbrande, Program Manager, DARPA / Defense Sciences Office New manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing, have vastly improved our ability to create shapes and material properties previously thought impossible. Generating new designs that fully exploit these properties, however, has proven extremely challenging. Can AI be leveraged to expand human creativity and exploit the benefits of new manufacturing technologies to greatly increase platform performance? This talk will describe several AI efforts aimed at mathematical modeling, design and manufacturing. These efforts focus on: 1) backing out physics equations from data, 2) accelerating discovery of new designs and 3) predicting material performance from process data. https://www.darpa.mil/program/fundamental-design https://www.darpa.mil/program/transformative-design https://www.darpa.mil/program/open-manufacturing
