Synopsis: Automotive functionality is becoming increasingly defined by software, enabling new features as well as feature growth during the service life of the product​.

There is a strong demand for unsupervised automation, where the vehicle system is responsible for the dynamic driving task. It is important to understand the challenge of making sure that the system is sufficiently safe, and also how to make use of fleet data in that process. Concept and architecture of the development machine will be presented, along with needs and opportunities for third party interaction to enable future competitiveness, supported by new knowledge, tools, and system SW/HW components.

Synopsis: Founded in Sweden in 1919, Electrolux is a global leader in appliances for households. We shape living for the better by reinventing taste, care and wellbeing experiences, making life more enjoyable and sustainable for millions of people. With connected and more intelligence appliances we want to deliver improved performance and better results with customized experience based on user-specific inputs and needs. Our challenge is the combination of new sensors, IoT data and machine learning algorithms deployed in the cloud or optimized for the machines, to make our applications smarter.

Synopsis: Reducing unplanned breakdowns is key success factor for long term sustainable production. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence in predictive maintenance is a major step to understand asset health, and to maximize technical availability through eliminated unplanned breakdowns.

Synopsis: AI research at GE covers a wide range of industrial and medical applications. An overview of the types of AI technologies being developed and their applications across multiple domains will be presented. Topics include machine perception and computer vision for inspection, automation, and performance enhancements, as well as Digital twins for predictive maintenance and schedule optimization. We will also discuss how the Science of AI may help ensure robustness, trust and security in AI systems and algorithms.

Synopsis: We want to look at what can add new value to our grocery stores – store operations, business model and concepts such as sustainability (sustainable business models, food waste, energy solutions, subscription models etc.) and store efficiency (scan & pay, amazon go, micro fulfillment, AI coach, etc.) are prioritized.

Computer Vision (CV) as a technology is very interesting and we want to broaden our knowledge related to streamlining and developing better store concept solutions. We already see today retail players who use CV technology for various purposes such as unmanned stores, robots for identification of signals and in-store deviations, automated staff-assistance and reduces queues and check-out problems as well as security.
