Description
This research studies the application of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence to automation engineering. Cognitive Automation Engineering is software that understands the automation task, learns from experience, reasons systematically and cooperates with the automation engineer. The goal of this new technology is to make automation engineering easier, faster and more reliable by allowing automation engineering tools to capture and reuse engineering knowledge systematically. Cognitive Automation Engineering will provide proactive in addition to reactive engineering assistance using new interaction patterns such as questions and recommendations. Cognitive Automation Engineering will integrate engineering knowledge from different engineering sources for a smart automation engineering assistant. We have developed a prototype Cognitive Automation Engineering assistant that is integrated with a state-of-the-art engineering system.
