Abstract
Discovering and manufacturing new materials is a laborious and time-consuming process. Historically this process takes countless time of material scientists and manufacturing engineers as they experiment with many different ingredient compositions and process conditions, in order to find the right combination leading to the material of desired properties. A team of researchers at Texas A&M University is contemplating the question— could an autonomous system be developed to replace the countless human hours and thus accelerate the discovery and manufacturing of advanced materials? In this talk, the speaker will review some of the existing platforms that inject certain degree of intelligence into a manufacturing system. The speaker will further discuss his team’s ongoing work of handling surprise observations and its implication in the broad effort of building such autonomous systems.
