Applied Intelligence for Industry 4.0

Abstract

We are all aware that artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a change in our lives, driven by a new form of interaction between man and machine. We are in the era of the fourth Industrial Revolution (IR) where AI plays vital roles in human development by enabling extraordinary technological advances making fundamental changes to the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policymakers and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centered future. We need to prepare our graduates as well as researchers to conduct their research with 4.0 IR-related technologies. We need to develop policies and implement those policies to focus on the components of 4.0 IR for sustainable developments. Applied Intelligence for Industry 4.0 will cover cutting edge topics in the fields of AI and industry 4.0. The text will appeal to beginners and advanced researchers in computer science, information sciences, engineering and robotics.
