Seminar on AI agents and Digital Twins Collaboration for Smart Manufacturing

30 Jun 2026 04.20 PM - 05.15 PM MAE Meeting Room D (Blk N3.2-02-59) Current Students, Public

Professor Martin Jun

Purdue University, USA

This seminar will be chaired by A/P Moon Seung Ki.

Seminar Abstract

Presented in this talk are recent advances in AI agents using sound based sensing and digital twin technologies for smart manufacturing systems. The talk will highlight Purdue’s research on stethoscope based sound sensing platforms that use AI agents and foundation models to analyze machine operation status, process performance, real time anomaly detection, and intelligent diagnostics in manufacturing environments. The presentation will discuss how sound AI agents can continuously interpret subtle changes in machine behavior and interact with digital twins that model manufacturing processes, equipment conditions, and operational data flows. By combining industrial IoT infrastructure, multimodal sensing, robotics, and AI driven analytics, these systems enable digital-physical teaming between human operators, autonomous agents, and cyber physical manufacturing systems. Examples from smart manufacturing and intelligent automation applications will demonstrate how AI agents and digital twins can collaborate to support real-time visualization, autonomous monitoring, and resilient manufacturing operations for future Industry 4.0 ecosystems.
