Abstract
Generative AI (GenAI), the technology behind Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), has emerged as a transformative technology in smart manufacturing. However, its full potential and integration within manufacturing processes remain unexplored. This paper presents a comprehensive framework that aligns a GenAI-centered approach with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), systematically examining the AIGC landscape and its applications across various manufacturing phases. To ensure accuracy and relevance, a human-in-the-loop pipeline is employed to curate and analyze cutting-edge research. Key contributions of this study include: 1) a holistic perspective on AIGC-empowered smart manufacturing, 2) an in-depth analysis of the current technological landscape, and 3) the identification of critical research challenges and future directions. Additionally, the paper considers Industry 5.0 principles, emphasizing human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. By fostering discussion and collaboration, this review aims to advance innovation and unlock the full potential of AIGC in smart manufacturing.
期刊介绍:
The journal, Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, focuses on sharing research applications that contribute to the development of new or enhanced robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies that are relevant to industry. Papers that combine theory and experimental validation are preferred, while review papers on current robotics and manufacturing issues are also considered. However, papers on traditional machining processes, modeling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimization are generally not within the scope of the journal, as there are more appropriate journals for these topics. Similarly, papers that are overly theoretical or mathematical will be directed to other suitable journals. The journal welcomes original papers in areas such as industrial robotics, human-robot collaboration in manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
