Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a disruptive technology with many applications. After a first wave of successful AI-based consumer applications, a second wave of AI-based industrial applications is on the horizon. The creation of these applications encompasses more than just the fields of data science and AI and includes engineering disciplines such as embedded systems, mechatronics, sensors, control theory, physics and more. 
 
Research needs to be carried out in order to understand how to bridge the gap between engineering and AI. Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI) and High Tech Systems Center (HTSC) have the pivotal role in connecting people and creating multi-disciplinary AI projects together with the industry. 
 
On 29 October 2019, Eindhoven University of Technology will open its doors to everyone interested in artificial intelligence for high-tech systems. The symposium includes keynotes, masterclasses and presentations from industrial players and TU/e researchers. Furthermore, the exhibition will present many live demonstrations.

High Tech Systems Center

In next-generation high-tech and mechatronic systems, extreme functionalities and performance requirements will be realized by using a model-based multi-physics systems approach.

New sensing technologies and actuator designs for multi-physics processes (forces, flows, temperatures, acoustics, optics) will need to be integrated with and used by distributed on-line model-based control and optimization tools. The control systems are adaptive, auto-tuned, are implemented in optimized hardware and software architectures, and use effective (wireless) communication.
