Patent Awarded for Human-AI Remote Manufacturing

FAU-developed system enables seamless, adaptive human-robot collaboration from off-site.

A new patent titled, 鈥淎daptive Cyber Manufacturing (ACM) Through Online Human-AI Partnerships鈥 awarded to Mehrdad Nojoumian, Ph.D., associate professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at 绿茶直播 Atlantic University, enables workers to operate manufacturing equipment remotely using sensors, cameras and real-time communication platforms, allowing humans and AI-driven systems to collaborate seamlessly on complex tasks from off-site locations.

Designed for extended, real-world use, the system dynamically adapts tasks and workloads based on individual performance and experience, while predictive models minimize delays in human-machine interactions. This approach supports a more flexible, distributed manufacturing model, helping organizations retain advanced capabilities domestically while accessing a broader global workforce. By combining AI, machine learning and adaptive remote control, ACM creates a safer, more efficient and inclusive workplace 鈥 paving the way for human-robot collaboration while keeping high-value manufacturing jobs in industrial countries without sacrificing productivity and cost.

鈥淎dvancing human-AI collaboration in manufacturing is essential to building systems that are responsive to real-world conditions,鈥 said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science. 鈥淭he future of manufacturing will be driven by intelligent systems that adapt to people 鈥 enhancing performance while maintaining human oversight in complex decision-making.鈥
