The Data-informed Design and Intelligent Systems (DIDIS, 数据驱动设计与智能系统) Laboratory at Global College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University is dedicated to the interdisciplinary research at the intersection of design science, artificial intelligence, robotics and smart manufacturing. The lab aims to develop AI-based approaches to support innovative design, robotics and manufacturing under complexity. Our research will promote the development of next-generation products and systems along with the emerging technological breakthroughs such as Cyber-physical Systems, Big Data, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), Mixed Reality (MR), and Embodied Intelligence.
Particularly, our research is emphasized on:
- Design for Market Systems (面向市场的产品设计): extract design insights and predict design trends from open and closed datasets to support product design in a highly competitive and uncertain market. Involved methods include data analytics, design optimization, text mining, graph computing, network analysis and generative design methods.
- Robotics and Smart Manufacturing (机器人与智能制造): develop algorithms, methods and devices to support the information perception and decision-making in robotics and smart manufacturing. Related topics include robot design, task and motion planning, reinforcement learning, transfer learning, imitation learning, human-robot collaboration, digital twin and Multi-agent Systems.
