by Ken Ghadia, Sales Engineer, TechnoTronix The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in PCB manufacturing has largely improved the product quality, optimized the production process, and significantly reduced the manufacturing cost. AI drives independent automation of PCB production by using the vast data aggregated from several sensors. Machine learning and deep learning are the AI…

Data science is set to prevail in the 21st century. By the late 1900s, computers had already become an inseparable part of human civilization, all thanks to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. This followed the glorious rise of the internet all across the globe. Then with mobile phones, smartphones, and wearables, almost every person on…

Kawasaki Geological Engineering Co. Ltd. and Fujitsu Limited have announced that Fujitsu’s AI engine is going to be leveraged to develop subsurface cavity survey technology. With the aim to detect underground cavities more accurately, the technology will be rolled out in summer 2017.  Kawasaki Geological Engineering is using Fujitsu’s deep learning platform service to analyze and process the huge volume of radar images collected with underground radar probe equipment. This will increase the efficiency of search for underground cavities which earlier required expert technicians to make visual determinations.

What Buddha saw of the world, Matisse sought in his paintings, and Heisenberg found in the quantum, was a simple fact that “Precision is not the truth”. They all found out in different novel ways that things can be a certain degree true, and a certain degree false at the same time. Drawing absolutes can certainly increase precision, but cannot make it perfectly precise as is clear from the finite word length effects in the digital domain. In a quest to seek the ultimate, in a bid to imitate the human capabilities, we have constantly resorted to the continuum of phenomenon and not discreteness. This is the world of fuzzy logic. The roots of fuzzy logic date back to the time when intelligent life forms evolved and they all can be classified as fuzzy systems. 

For generations, scientists have been keen on creating a substitute that can mimic and perform the same tasks as a human. The arrival of the computer 50 years ago has helped scientists progress at great speeds toward a feasible alternative to the human mind.Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is the field of computer science focused on ensuring that the dream of these scientists becomes a reality.  A.I. systems are currently capable of understanding speech, playing chess and performing household tasks. A.I. is set to play an important role in our lives. The aim of Artificial Intelligence is to understand the actions whether it occurs in humans, machines or animals. As a result, Artificial Intelligence is gaining importance in science and engineering fields.
