Intelligent Industrial Systems

Objectives

This curricular unit is focused on concepts and technologies of artificial intelligence in industrial systems, specifically regarding their application in predictive and smart manufacturing. At the of this unit students will have acquired knowledge, skills and competences that will allow them to:

-Understand:

1) Core concepts and methods of intelligent industrial systems;

2) The impact of technology and their activity in a social, environmental and economical context;

-Be capable of:

1) Planning, designing and implementing predictive and decision-support solutions for industrial settings;

2) Bridging the gap between the latest technological advances in intelligent systems and the industry;

3) Integrating inter- and multidisciplinary knowledge with rigor and security;

-Know:

1) The industrial reality, enabling an active role bridging industry and research in the field;

2) The main challenges and barriers in the adoption of intelligent industrial systems.

Teaching method

This curricular unit includes a theoretical component and a laboratory component of equal duration. The theoretical component contemplates dynamic classes combining a small expositive part with activities geared towards discussion and reflection, creating the conditions necessary for students to take on an active and central role in their learning process. The laboratorial component includes several integrative group projects combining knowledge from the different models of the curricular unit in the resolution of applied problems.

Evaluation method

The evaluation of the theoretical component (TC) is continuous, carried out through 4 mini-tests throughout the semester. The laboratorial component (LC) results from the development of the assignments throughout the semester, culminating in their oral presentation. There is also a summative component (SC) resulting from quizzes delivered at the end of each theoretical session.

The final grade can be calculated by FG = 0.4*TC + 0.55*LC + 0.05*SC
