Generative AI (GenAI), in combination with robotics, data and other AI technologies, is making its way into several sectors. But how exactly? And how can we achieve cross-domain synergies and that the inspection and maintenance (I&M) sector benefit from this development?
To address this, we welcome you to an action-oriented workshop at the ADRA Forum focusing on the following three main questions:
- What are the currently demonstrated capabilities and limitations of applying GenAI for I&M and other sectors, and how is the use in other sectors relevant for I&M?
- What are the high-impact I&M use cases for GenAI in the industry and public sector? Both low-hanging fruits and more advanced use cases.
- What is the research, development and innovation challenges to tackle next to boost European competitiveness for GenAI in I&M?
The workshop provides a venue for knowledge-sharing and collaboration between stakeholders across sectors and value-chains within wind power, oil and gas, manufacturing and maritime.
Topics and speakers
- Current use of GenAI in the industry and low-hanging fruit-opportunities for I&M (Thordur Arnason, Capgemini)
- Opportunities for industrial use of GenAI (Kuka)
- Sustainable AI for inspection and maintenance (Sabine Demey, IMEC)
- Potential of LLM in robotics in the energy industry: The cross-domain nature of AI, Data and robotics (Svein Ivar Sagatun, Equinor)
- GenAI-based Generic Inventory of Hazardous Materials for Ships (Uğur Dinçer, HKTM)
- Generative AI for the aviation and maintenance sectors (Ahmed K. Mohammed, SINTEF)
- AutoGPT+P: Affordance-based Task Planning with Large Language Models (Timo Birr, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))
- I&M-relevant aspects from the recent ADRA’s policy paper and technology roadmap on GenAI for robotics (speaker to be announced)
The list of speakers and presentation titles may be subject to change.
Agenda and format for the 90 minute-workshop
- Short introduction by Aksel Transeth introducing the key questions for the workshop. (ca. 3 min)
- 8 short presentations/position statements as basis for the upcoming discussion and brainstorming. (ca. 60 min)
- Plenary brainstorming and discussion moderated by Aksel Transeth. The moderator will engage the audience in active discussions to gather inputs to the key questions addressed during the workshop. (ca. 25 min)
- Short summary and how to get further involved with the ADRA topic group on I&M (ca. 2 min)
To join the workshop, participants and speakers need to register for the ADRA Forum. Please make your registration and see the full program at ADRA Forum here.
The Forum is organized by the AI, Data and Robotics Association (ADRA).
The workshop program is organized as collaboration between the ADRA topic group on inspection and maintenance, the RIMA Alliance, the euRobotics topic group on Inspection and Maintenance, the JARVIS EU project (GA no. 101135708), Nemonoor, and the NAINE and RINVE network.
The workshop organizers are Aksel A. Transeth (SINTEF – coordinator of ADRA topic group on I&M, chair of the RIMA Alliance, coordinator of the euRobotics topic group on I&M and the RINVE network), Thomas Vögele (DFKI – co-chair of the RIMA Alliance), Ebert van Vonderen (TUKE – secretary of the RIMA Alliance), and Ahmed Mohammed and Magnus Bjerkeng (SINTEF).
