The lab studies how computers can intelligently support the creative work people do in manufacturing.
AboutAbout the lab
Intelligent computer support for creative work.
The Digital Production Systems Lab studies methods for using computers to intelligently support the creative activities that people carry out in manufacturing.
At each stage of the lifecycle of industrial products, the lab aims not only to replace routine tasks with machines but also to support people's creative activities.
Its research includes methods for predicting failures during product use at the conceptual design stage, and techniques for approximate stress analysis of machine parts using a minimal amount of training data.
The lab develops computer-aided methods that allow even less experienced workers to carry out their tasks accurately.
Key terms
- Conceptual design
- The early stage of design, in which the form and mechanism of a product are roughly decided
- Stress analysis
- Calculating the internal forces that arise inside a part when a load is applied to it

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to build a methodology for using computers to intelligently support the creative activities people carry out in manufacturing. Targeting failure prediction, approximate stress analysis of machine parts, design of flexible structures, and the construction and operation of production systems, it is developing support methods that let even less experienced workers perform tasks accurately.
