AI-Driven Manufacturing & Space Systems. Design, Optimization, and Research Challenges (en Inglés) - Sangat Bankim Naik

AI-Driven Manufacturing & Space Systems explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the design, manufacturing, and operation of advanced aerospace and space systems. This book bridges mechanical engineering, additive manufacturing, robotics, and AI to address the unique challenges of extreme and space environments.

Covering topics such as intelligent manufacturing, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), physics-informed AI, digital twins, autonomous robotics, and human-AI collaboration, the book emphasizes real engineering constraints including data scarcity, uncertainty, safety, and certification. Rather than focusing on algorithms alone, it presents AI as a systems-level tool grounded in physical understanding and engineering responsibility.

Designed for researchers, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this book also outlines open research challenges and provides a clear roadmap for doctoral research in AI-driven manufacturing and space systems. It serves as both a technical reference and a foundation for future research and innovation.
