Manufacturing, Robotics & Industry 4.0
Manufacturing capstone: factory floor assistant
Solve a real factory problem end to end, such as a line assistant, deployed with monitoring and offline-safe answers.
The brief
Factories need AI that works on the shop floor, where networks drop and mistakes are costly. Build and deploy an assistant for a production line (or another factory AI product you scope with your mentor), with offline-safe behaviour, monitoring and a recorded demo. Good looks like: a deployed product, measured quality, a safety review, and a demo for a panel.
What you will build
- Scope the problem and success measures with your mentor
- Build the product with grounding and tools
- Make it safe when the network or a tool fails
- Evaluate quality and safety
- Deploy with monitoring
- Present the results to a panel

Check each dataset's licence before you publish your work. Your mentor gives your team its own version of the brief (data, scope or region), so every team's project is its own.
