The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to conduct research on expanding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing. The project focuses on developing deep clustering and generative modeling techniques to identify geometric similarities between new part designs and existing designs to improve manufacturability and enable AI-driven reconfiguration of supply chains. The research aims to produce user-friendly, well-documented software and embedded object representations that can be leveraged for broader applications beyond manufacturing. The project will run from May 2024 to April 2026 and seeks to diversify the project personnel by recruiting women computer/data scientists.
