Engineering Innovation through Intelligent Systems: Case Studies and Future Directions
Keywords:
Engineering Innovation, Intelligent Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Embedded Systems, Case Studies, Smart Engineering, Future TrendsAbstract
The use of intelligent systems in engineering has helped create new, adaptive and independent solutions for many industries. In this paper, I study how intelligent systems contribute to engineering innovation using various actual projects. It analyzes the effects of AI, ML and embedded systems on manufacturing, civil infrastructure, transportation and the energy industry. Studying these cases qualitatively and in comparison shows what trends, problems and opportunities exist in using intelligent technologies. Besides, the paper describes expanding directions, with emphasis on teamwork between different fields, ethics in AI and environment-friendly innovations in engineering. The information gained from Neural Engineering supports the application of intelligent tools in creating new developments in engineering.
