KAIST Advanced & Intelligent (AI) Platform Center for Manufacturing aims to foster regional bases for the realization of the future autonomous manufacturing. The goal is to develop and integrate core autonomous manufacturing technologies, including digital materials, process AI, smart logistics, robotic manufacturing, robot-human collaboration and autonomous driving equipment, and implement them in a verifiable manufacturing testbed environment. The center ultimately wil take the central role to establish a system for the diffusion of the technology and the cultivatgion of convergent talent through industry-academia-research collaboration.

Autonomous process optimization using deep learning
We provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the autonomous production and deliberate the technological advancement orientations in smart factories to address with various challenges.
We teach and discuss the basic principles of engineering materials and processes in the field of advanced manufacturing industries, including small-scale (semiconductors, MEMs), large-yet-thin-scale (batteries, displays), large-scale (robots, vehicles), ultralarge-scale (aircrafts, ships).
A smart CNC system that autonomously adjusts process parameters to improve surface quality and productivity.
Composed of a deep learning-based monitoring apparatus capable of on-site surface roughness prediction with a 3.6 % mean error and a dataset of optimized parameters generated via multi-objective Bayesian optimization in only eleven attempts, it successfully conducted a fully autonomous trochoidal slotting operation, improving the final roughness by 36 %.
