AI Enhanced Multi-Model Knowledge Image Caption for Intelligent Robotics and Resilience Manufacturing Ecosystem

Artificial Intelligence becomes an important core technology of soft power with wide spectrum of applications including robot integrated resilient manufacturing ecosystem as well as industrial cyber-physical systems (iCPS). As the industry encountered lack of skilled labors/human resources and increased wages, the need of AI enhanced autonomous mobile industrial robot (AMIR) and resilient supply chain management is obvious. Amazon, Google and Microsoft are investing in AI and intelligent robotics technology. Others are likely to follow, further to stimulate investment and innovation. AI enhanced Image Caption can recognize contains of picture and can speak out. It is high-level that generates the context scenario descriptions from an image automatically. We need to concern a variety of elements and their spatial information to form semantically and syntactically sentences. The aforementioned issues, challenges and opportunities will be the focus of this presentation including some exemplary best practices and research results with video demo from our NTU Intelligent Robotics and Automation Lab.
