Prof. Dr. Karl Kohlhof
System automation by artificial intelligence
K. Kohlhof TH Cologne - University of Applied Sciences, Germany
Abstract: The 4th industrial revolution includes digitalization and network linking of automated processes. Thus a lot of sensed data recorded locally may be collected, stored, compared etc. centrally, finally to be resent to regulate processes in a reliable and stable manner. In that scheme the Internet of Things behaves as a cyber physical copy of the hardware processes to be controlled. The regulation paradigm changes from state of the art local feedback loop circuits or functional diagram map controlling to delocalized cloud based control algorithms. This strategy allows millions of similar control events to be respected by machinery learning. Thus software based artificially simulated cognition and self-learning help to adopt and optimize the process stability. Multi-level neuronal, deep learning networks as mathematical models allow the transfer of biological signal processing strategies to adopt it to technical solutions. This presentation shows exemplary first ideas how to regulate comfort climate in buildings by such artificial neuronal networks performed within the Internet of Things. It comprises finally critical remarks towards ethic and security aspects.
Biography: Karl Kohlhof received his tertiary education from University of Cologne, Germany in Physics, Numerical Mathematics and Polymer Chemistry. He has working experiences for 5 years at German State Research Center Juelich and with Robert Bosch automotive research in Stuttgart for 8 years, before becoming a Professor at University of Applied Science Cologne (Technische Hochschule) in Physics, Micro- and Nano Technologies. He belongs to the senate, research committee, international committee and acts as the master course-manager at the university. His research interest includes smart, micro structured sensors in automation processes, and implementation into the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. He is involved with international academic teaching and research network with Cuba and Mexico (Latin America) and Malaysia (South East Asia). He has received several awards – a university medal from Technological University of Havana, Cuba (CUJAE) and a honorary doctorate in Engineering from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP).
