TechniquesOakland University is expanding existing student facilities for robotics and manufacturing to create a laboratory for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Manufacturing. Specific hardware acquisitions include a computer workstation with two terminals to support AI development, and two PC-based stations with appropriate data acquisition and control hardware to support AI delivery. Software acquisitions include AI tools for knowledge representation and expert systems (largely contributed by The Carnegie Group, Inc.), object-oriented modeling software for a wide range of manufacturing problems, and necessary support software. These additions permit students to examine the intelligent use and integration of current equipment including a CNC mill, a CNC lathe, a vision system, a robotic manipulator and a CAD/CAM system.This laboratory primarily supports a new course entitled Improving Manufacturing with Artificial Intelligence Techniques but the improvements also benefit existing courses including Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Robotics. Students will learn: 1) to use expert system shells to build diagnostic expert systems for maintaining the lab's devices; 2) to implement neural network algorithms to control machines; 3) to extract features that control a manufacturing device or cell using various learning algorithms; 4) to build hypertext procedure descriptions for the use of manufacturing systems; and 5) to use object-oriented models of manufactured goods, and to apply other AI techniques to the problems of manufacturing. The lab will be one of the first designed to train students in the use of AI techniques to improve existing manufacturing technologies and help generate new ones.

技术奥克兰大学正在扩建现有的机器人和制造学生设施，以创建制造人工智能 (AI) 实验室。 具体的硬件采购包括一个具有两个终端的计算机工作站，以支持人工智能开发，以及两个基于PC的工作站，具有适当的数据采集和控制硬件，以支持人工智能交付。 软件采购包括用于知识表示和专家系统的人工智能工具（主要由卡内基集团公司贡献）、用于各种制造问题的面向对象建模软件以及必要的支持软件。 这些新增功能使学生能够检查当前设备的智能使用和集成，包括数控铣床、数控车床、视觉系统、机器人操纵器和 CAD/CAM 系统。该实验室主要支持名为“利用人工智能改进制造”的新课程技术和改进也有利于包括人工智能和智能机器人在内的现有课程。 学生将学习： 1) 使用专家系统 shell 构建诊断专家系统以维护实验室设备； 2）实施神经网络算法来控制机器； 3）使用各种学习算法提取控制制造设备或单元的特征； 4）为制造系统的使用建立超文本程序描述； 5）使用面向对象的制成品模型，并将其他人工智能技术应用于解决制造问题。 该实验室将是首批旨在培训学生使用人工智能技术改进现有制造技术并帮助生成新技术的实验室之一。
