    Simulation And Ai 10664117

  • 1.00 credits
  • Automation Systems Technology
  • Explores the Artificial Intelligence available in the world today and discusses how it has helped. We will look at modern A.I. (cell phones, televisions, internet companies, automotive applications and others) to see how it is already a part of everyday life. Autonomous robots will be controlled and reviewed to discover their capabilities. We will then utilize Oculus technology to review training options (fire extinguisher training, Lockout/tagout training). Microsoft Halolens units will be used to create mixed reality scenarios for class work and possible workplace training integration. 3D modeling will be used to develop simulations that will allow students to experience work that might not be conducive to our lab or too dangerous for us to do in the lab setting.
