SBIR PHASE II: AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING -THE BROADER/COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT INCLUDES AN INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY IN MANUFACTURING SUPPLY CHAINS, WHICH CAN LEAD TO ECONOMIC GROWTH, JOB CREATION, IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY, AND REDUCED WASTE. THE PROJECT CAN ALSO ENHANCE THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL BASE, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO NATIONAL SECURITY BY MITIGATING MANUFACTURING SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS. THIS TECHNOLOGY CAN PROVIDE NEW LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, FACILITATE INCREASED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY, AND ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ON PRECISION MANUFACTURING, LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS AND TECHNIQUES WITH APPLICATIONS BEYOND MANUFACTURING. THE SOLUTION WILL BE A STEP TOWARDS ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGE OF RESHORING MANUFACTURING GIVEN THE TECHNICAL SKILLS GAP CRISIS IN THE U.S. BY HELPING INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL MACHINISTS AND SPARKING GREATER INTEREST IN THIS FIELD AMONG NEW WORKFORCE ENTRANTS. THE MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPE IS SHIFTING TO MORE AUTOMATION, AND THIS SOLUTION COULD HELP TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-AUGMENTED MACHINISTS. THIS SOLUTION HAS BROAD APPLICABILITY ACROSS COMMERCE, GOVERNMENT, AND ACADEMIA, IN A RANGE OF END MARKET APPLICATIONS SUCH AS AEROSPACE, DEFENSE, AND MEDTECH. THIS SBIR PHASE II PROJECT WILL RESULT IN A FULLY FUNCTIONAL ?BETA? PROTOTYPE OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-ASSISTED, AUTONOMOUS, NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE THAT CAN BE TESTED WITHIN AN OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND BE NEAR-READY FOR COMMERCIAL LAUNCH. THE END PRODUCT WILL BE AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-POWERED SOFTWARE EMBEDDED IN THE COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMERS? EXISTING WORKFLOW ENVIRONMENT. THE SOFTWARE WILL PROVIDE MACHINING STRATEGY, CUTTING TOOL AND MACHINING PARAMETERS, AND TOOL PATH RECOMMENDATIONS ACROSS MILLING, DRILLING, AND TURNING OPERATIONS. BY OFFERING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE END USER (I.E., THE NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMER), THE PRODUCT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO: 1) SHORTEN THE LEARNING CURVE FOR NEW TALENT, 2) REDUCE THE DEGREE OF VARIABILITY ACROSS SKILL LEVELS, 3) REDUCE THE TIME / ITERATIONS NEEDED TO GENERATE COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMS, AND TO 4) INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF GENERATING OPTIMAL (I.E., LOWEST OVERALL MACHINING COST) PROGRAMS. THE PRODUCT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE EXISTING AND NEW WORKFORCE, WHILE ALSO REDUCING THE NON-RECURRING AND RECURRING COSTS FOR PRECISION MACHINING. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

EXCLUDED POPULATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITH NON-TRADITIONAL GENDER IDENTITIES OR SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS FACE VIOLENCE AND BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHICH OFTEN RESULTS IN EMIGRATION. ASOCIACI? LAMBDA (LAMBDA) WORKS TO IMPROVE THE LIVELIHOODS OF THIS MARGINALIZED GROUP BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITY GROUPS ON MANAGEMENT, GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP SKILLS. AT THE IAF, WE SUPPORT COMMUNITY-LED SOLUTIONS TO STRENGTHEN GOVERNANCE IN GUATEMALA. LAMBDA'S ACTIVITIES STRENGTHEN GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND BUILD PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING AND ACTION NETWORKS. THIS GRANT IS PART OF THE IAF'S EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF IRREGULAR MIGRATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

SBIR PHASE I: SCALING UP OPEN INNOVATION WITH CROWD WISDOM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) FOR SMARTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE FASHION -THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT WILL DEVELOP AND LEVERAGE AN INNOVATIVE HYBRID INTELLIGENCE, I.E., A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF BIG DATA AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TECHNOLOGIES WITH THE WISDOM OF CROWDS, TO HELP CONNECT AND EMPOWER BOTH INDEPENDENT DESIGNERS AND SMALL-TO-MEDIUM-SIZED RETAILERS/FASHION BUYERS (TOGETHER WITH SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERS), TO HELP BRING THE ORIGINAL, UNIQUE, TRENDY DESIGNS WITH GREAT GARMENT QUALITY TO FASHION CONSUMERS. THE PROJECT ALSO AIMS TO HELP THE FASHION INDUSTRY TO TACKLE SOME OF ITS HARDEST, MOST CRITICAL, AND MOST URGENT CHALLENGES IN OVERPRODUCTION AND WASTE (RESULTING IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES). THE PROJECT WILL ADVANCE RECOMMENDATION TECHNOLOGY AND FASHION INTELLIGENCE BY DEVELOPING NOVEL DEEP LEARNING-POWERED FASHION RECOMMENDATION MODELS, AND EFFECTIVELY COMBINE AND INTEGRATE HUMAN FASHION EXPERTS? INPUT AND DEEP LEARNING PREDICTIONS. THESE TECHNIQUES WILL HELP MATCH FASHION RETAIL BUYERS AND DESIGN(ER)S, WITH THE CONSIDERATION OF UNIQUENESS AND EXCLUSIVITY. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO HELP EVALUATE KEY ASPECTS OF THE FASHION DESIGNS, SUCH AS UNIQUENESS AND TRENDINESS, AND PROVIDE MORE ACCURATE PREDICTIONS ON FASHION DEMANDS AND SALES. THE KEY TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS ARE TWO-FOLD. FIRST, A NOVEL SELF-SUPERVISED AND DEEP LEARNING-POWERED FASHION RECOMMENDATION ENGINE WILL EFFECTIVELY UTILIZE THE HETEROGENEOUS FASHION DATA (IMAGES, TEXT, BEHAVIORS, AND SALES) TO HELP ACCURATELY MATCH FASHION BUYERS AND MANUFACTURERS WITH THE (NEW) DESIGN(ER)S UNDER STYLE COMPATIBILITY AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. SECOND, A HYBRID INTELLIGENCE ENGINE WILL EFFECTIVELY COMBINE AND INTEGRATE FASHION BUYERS' INPUT (VOTES AND ORDERS) WITH DEEP LEARNING MODELS TO HELP MEASURE FASHION UNIQUENESS, TRENDINESS, AND SALES FORECASTS, ETC., OF THE NEW DESIGNS. THE PROJECT CAN HELP BOTH DESIGNERS AND RETAILERS TRACK THE TRENDS AND THE DEMANDS AND STAY AHEAD OF THE FASHION CURVE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.
