Abstract:
Industry 4.0 based on artificial intelligence and information communication technology emerges as a primary contributor to the digital economy and Internet of Things. In order to execute flexible production, smart manufacturing must holistically integrate 6G wireless networking, AI computing, and automatic control technologies. This talk explores the challenges of this complex system engineering scenario, from a wireless networked multi-robot system perspective. Starting from enabling flexible re-configuration of a smart factory, we discuss 6G wireless technology and the trends of wireless networking evolution to facilitate multi-robot smart factories. Furthermore, the special sequential decision-making of a multi-robot manufacturing system is examined. Social learning can be used to extend the resilience of precision operation in a multi-robot system by taking network topology into consideration. This talk finally summarizes 6G technological opportunities for smart factories and Industry 4.0.
Biography:
Kwang-Cheng Chen has been a Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida, since 2016. From 1987 to 2016, Dr. Chen worked with SSE, Communications Satellite Corp., IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, National Tsing Hua University, HP Labs., and National Taiwan University in mobile communications and networks. He visited TU Delft (1998), Aalborg University (2008), Sungkyunkwan University (2013), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2012-2013, 2015-2016). He founded a wireless IC design company in 2001, which was acquired by MediaTek Inc. in 2004. He has been actively involving in the organization of various IEEE conferences and serving editorships with a few IEEE journals (most recently as a series editor on Data Science and AI for Communications in the IEEE Communications Magazine), together with various IEEE volunteer services to the IEEE, Communications Society, Vehicular Technology Society, and Signal Processing Society, such as founding the Technical Committee on Social Networks in the IEEE Communications Society. Dr. Chen also has contributed essential technology to various international standards, namely IEEE 802 wireless LANs, Bluetooth, LTE and LTE-A, 5G-NR, and ITU-T FG ML5G. He has authored and co-authored over 300 IEEE publications, 4 books published by Wiley and River (most recently, Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Robotics, River, 2020), and more than 24 granted US patents. Dr. Chen is an IEEE Fellow and has received a number of awards including 2011 IEEE COMSOC WTC Recognition Award, 2014 IEEE Jack Neubauer Memorial Award, 2014 IEEE COMSOC AP Outstanding Paper Award. He has co-authored 6 Highly Cited Papers in past 10 years. Dr. Chen’s current research interests include wireless networks, artificial intelligence and machine learning, IoT/CPS, social networks and data analytics, quantum photonic computing and communications, and cybersecurity.
