However, interaction devices are still lagging behind. VRfree® is changing that. Enabling smart maintenance with high-quality labeled sensor data Synopsis: One of the most critical enablers for smart manufacturing (i.e., predictive maintenance, process optimization etc.) is high quality sensor data that has been processed and labelled by a domain expert. You are "data ready" for smart manufacturing when you realize this enabler. Viking Analytics’ unique platform Multiviz can be used by domain experts for converting raw real-time and historical sensor data to useful labeled data. True Depth in Virtual and Augmented Reality Synopsis: Current virtual or augmented reality headsets are not widely accepted, because they can cause discomfort, nausea or eye-strain. One reason is mismatch between perceived binocular depth and actual focus of individual eye. CREAL3D’s technology projects light-field where each eye can focus naturally on virtual objects in different distances, experiencing their realistic blur and micro-parallax. This will enable creation of pleasant to use headsets and unlock AR/VR markets.

The majority of the research activities are conducted in collaboration with industrial partners and encompass a broad range of sectors including aerospace, transport, energy and medicine. LiU also provides interdisciplinary access to major research laboratory equipment and resources through the national Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) and National Supercomputer Center (NSC). AI for Monitoring and Control of Dynamical Processes Synopsis: Since the beginning of the industrialisation, there is a demand for in situ and real-time monitoring and control of highly dynamical processes. On the one hand, such processes have been investigated via complex experiments and simulations. This approach has brought a significant amount of understanding. Still, in many cases it was not sufficient to reduce significantly or supress failure. On the other hand, artificial intelligence is a new trend that proved itself as a very powerful tool to overcome both the complexity and/or the large amount of data to be treated, even without an understanding of the process. This presentation will show successful examples of combining fundamental understanding of a dynamical process, state-of-the art sensors, in particular acoustic emission and artificial intelligence. Predictive Maintenance with Deep Learning for Industry Synopsis: In predictive maintenance, the focus is on identifying signs of random failures at an early stage and predicting ageing processes. CSEM has developed predictive maintenance software that links machine data to an intelligent system via neural networks. The intelligent system works in three steps: 1. detecting a deterioration of a machine, 2. predicting how the condition of the machine will develop, and 3. identifying the components responsible for the malfunction. Artificial Intelligence for Extending Reality Synopsis: This presentation will focus on how artificial intelligence/ machine learning combined with models of the visual world is shaping the future of augmented/virtual/mixed/extended reality. The key note will showcase astonishing research results and promising business directions. |
