Artificial intelligence seamlessly integrated at control level
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a very successful method of automating processes, as it imitates the cognitive abilities of humans. There are many different ways to imitate these skills, with the most successful approach in recent years being machine learning (ML), which is based on processing large sample data sets. The basic idea of machine learning is…
Non-destructive inspection in the aerospace industry
